Answer

$v\gt-\frac{3}{16}$

Work Step by Step

$\frac{5}{8}+v-\frac{7}{16}\gt0$ $\mathrm{Group\:like\:terms}$ $v+\frac{5}{8}-\frac{7}{16}>0$ $\mathrm{Least\:Common\:Multiplier\:of\:}8,\:16:\quad 16$ $\mathrm{Adjust\:Fractions\:based\:on\:the\:LCM}$ $\mathrm{For}\:\frac{5}{8}:\:\mathrm{multiply\:the\:denominator\:and\:numerator\:by\:}\:2$ $\frac{5}{8}=\frac{5\cdot \:2}{8\cdot \:2}=\frac{10}{16}$ $v+\frac{10}{16}-\frac{7}{16}>0$ $v+\frac{3}{16}>0$ $\mathrm{Subtract\:}\frac{3}{16}\mathrm{\:from\:both\:sides}$ $v+\frac{3}{16}-\frac{3}{16}>0-\frac{3}{16}$ $Simplify$ $v>-\frac{3}{16}$
