Answer is 1/4
Step by step
-8 = -2/v
First we want to isolate “v”
-2 is divided by “v”, so we will multiply both sides by “v”
-8v = -2
Now we can solve for v
Divide both sides by -8
v = 2/8, simplified to 1/4
(Remember when you multiply or divide two negatives it becomes a positive)
If you want to check your work, substitute your answer of 1/4 into the original equation.
-8= (-2) divided by (1/4)
-8 = -8
