① | Remove the parentheses by changing the sign of each term within them. $$ - \left( 15+8v+v^2 \right) = -15-8v-v^2 $$ |
② | Combine like terms: $$ \color{blue}{7v} \color{red}{-v^2} + \color{green}{14} \color{green}{-15} \color{blue}{-8v} \color{red}{-v^2} = \color{red}{-2v^2} \color{blue}{-v} \color{green}{-1} $$ |
