Hey!
------------------------------------------------
Steps To Solve:
17 - 2v = -53
~Subtract 17 to both sides
17 - 2v - 17 = -53 - 17
~Simplify
-2v = -70
~Divide 2 to both sides
-2v/-2 = -70/-2
~Simplify
v = 35
------------------------------------------------
Hence, the answer is [tex]\Large\boxed{\mathsf{v~=~35}}[/tex]

Hope This Helped! Good Luck!
