$v=3.70588$

You need to get rid of the denominator by multiplying everything by the product of the denominators: $3*5*5=75$

$75*-4/3v + 75*4 = 75*-1/5v-75*1/5$

$-100v + 300 = -15v -15$

Re-arrange:
#-100v + 100v + 300 + 15 = -15v + 100 v - 15 + 15

$315 = 85v$

$315/85 = 85v/85$

$3.70588 = v$

How do you solve -\frac { 4} { 3} v + 4= - \frac { 1} { 5} v - \frac { 1} { 5}-\frac { 4} { 3} v + 4= - \frac { 1} { 5} v - \frac { 1} { 5}?
