1. **State the problem:** Solve for $v$ in the equation $2v - v = 11$. 2. **Use the formula and rules:** Combine like terms on the left side. When subtracting or adding terms with the same variable, add or subtract their coefficients. 3. **Combine like terms:** $$2v - v = (2 - 1)v = 1v = v$$ 4. **Rewrite the equation:** $$v = 11$$ 5. **Final answer:** $$v = 11$$ The value of $v$ is 11.
