To solve the equation:

\[
-1.7(v - 4.8) = -8.84
\]

Follow these steps:

1. **Distribute** the \(-1.7\) on the left side:

   \[
   -1.7v + 8.16 = -8.84
   \]

2. **Subtract** 8.16 from both sides to isolate the term with \( v \):

   \[
   -1.7v = -8.84 - 8.16
   \]
   
   \[
   -1.7v = -17
   \]

3. **Divide** both sides by \(-1.7\) to solve for \( v \):

   \[
   v = \frac{-17}{-1.7}
   \]
   
   \[
   v = 10
   \]

So, the solution is \( v = 10 \).
