Question

What is the solution to the equation?

8v - 4(v + 8) = 8
O v = 2
O v = 10
ng
v=4
o
v=-4

Answer 1

v = 10

Explanation:

Expand 8v - 4(v + 8) = 8 and then combine like terms:

8v - 4v - 32 = 8, or

4v = 40

Then v = 40/4, or v = 10

Answer 2

v =10

Explanation:

8v - 4(v + 8) = 8

Distribute

8v -4v -32 = 8

Combine like terms

4v -32 = 8

Add 32 to each side

4v -32+32 =8+32

4v = 40

Divide by 4

4v/4 = 40/4

v =10
