1. Problem Description

The problem is to solve the equation M=n(v+w)vwM = \frac{n(v+w)}{v-w} for vv. MM, nn, and ww are real numbers.

2. Solution Steps

We want to isolate vv in the equation M=n(v+w)vwM = \frac{n(v+w)}{v-w}.
First, multiply both sides of the equation by (vw)(v-w):
M(vw)=n(v+w)M(v-w) = n(v+w)
MvMw=nv+nwMv - Mw = nv + nw
Now, we want to collect the terms with vv on one side and the other terms on the other side. Subtract nvnv from both sides:
MvnvMw=nwMv - nv - Mw = nw
Add MwMw to both sides:
Mvnv=nw+MwMv - nv = nw + Mw
Factor out vv from the left side:
v(Mn)=nw+Mwv(M-n) = nw + Mw
Now, divide both sides by (Mn)(M-n), assuming MnM \neq n:
v=nw+MwMnv = \frac{nw + Mw}{M-n}
We can also write this as:
v=w(n+M)Mnv = \frac{w(n+M)}{M-n}

3. Final Answer

v=w(M+n)Mnv = \frac{w(M+n)}{M-n}
