#v = 8#

Explanation:

Start by adding #6# to both sides to isolate the variable #v#, that is trying to be found.

#2v cancel(- 6) = 10#
#color(white)"xx"cancel(color(red)(+6# #color(white)"xx"color(red)(+6#

#2v =# #color(white)"xxx"16#

Now divide both sides by #2#:

#2v = 16#

#(cancel2v)/cancelcolor(red)2 = 16/color(red)2#

#v = 16/2#

#v = 8#
