Answer:

c) 14

Explanation:

The given equation is
(3v)/(7)=6.

We need to solve this equation for v, so we multiply both sides of the equation by the multiplicative inverse of
(3)/(7) which is
(7)/(3) to obtain;


(7)/(3) * (3v)/(7)=6* (7)/(3).

We simplify to obtain;


v=2* 7


v=14

The correct choice is C.

Answer: option c

Explanation:

To solve this problem you must apply the following proccedure:

- Multiply both sides of the equation by 7.

- Divide both sides of the equation by 3.

Therefore, keeping the steps above on mind, you obtain the result shown below:


(3v)/(7)=6\\\\(7)(3v)/(7)=6(7)\\\\3v=42\\\\(3v)/(3)=(42)/(3)\\ v=14
