190 - v = 237

-190 -190

-1v = 47

--- ---

-1 -1

v = -47

Check:

190 - (-47) = 237

190 + 47 = 237

237 = 237

Negative x Negative = Positive

\huge\text{Hey there!}


\huge\textbf{Equation:}


\mathsf{190 - v = 237}


\huge\textbf{Simplifying:}


\mathsf{190 - v = 237}


\huge\textbf{Converting to:}


\mathsf{190 - v = 237}


\mathsf{-v + 190 = 237}


\huge\textbf{Subtract \boxed{190} to both sides:}


\mathsf{-v + 190 - 190 = 237 - 190}


\huge\textbf{Simplify it:}


\mathsf{-v = 237 - 190}


\mathsf{-v = 47}


\huge\textbf{Converting to:}


\mathsf{-v = 47}


\mathsf{-1v = 47}


\huge\textbf{Divide \boxed{-1} to both sides:}


\mathsf{(-1v)/(1) = (47)/(-1)}


\huge\textbf{Simplify it:}


\mathsf{v = (47)/(-1)}


\mathsf{v = -47}


\huge\textbf{Therefore, your answer should be:}


\huge\boxed{\mathsf{v = -47}}\huge\checkmark
