Question

ok so im in highschool and we started doing this thing called "multi - steps" i dont really get it so could you guys help me. The equation is 2(7v-3)=-118​

Answer 1

`v=-8`

Explanation:

It seems you have started multi-step equations. Understanding multi-step equations is virtually fundamental to higher level mathematics.

Given:

`2(7v-3)=-118`

We are multiplying
`2` by the whole expression
`(7v-3)`, so all you need to do is apply the distributive property. This means multiply
`2` by
`7v` and
`-3`. When we do that, we then get the following:

`14v-6=-118`

We want to solve for the value
`v`, but that means we have to isolate it one one side of the equal sign. Do this by adding
`6` to both sides. We then get:

`14v = -112`

Now, all we need to do is divide both sides by
`14` to get
`v` by itself. We then get:

`v=-8`

Answer 2

v=-8

Explanation:

You first distribute.

(2*7v)+(2*-3)=-118

14v-6=-118

Then you add 6 on both sides of the equation so you cancel out the -6 and the equation becomes

14v=-112

then you divide 14 on both sides to get v by itself

14v/14= v

-112/14=-8

so you get v=-8

you can check if the answer is correct or not by plugging the v in.
