Question

7v - (6-2v) = 12 what is the value of V

Answer 1

Given:

`7v-(6-2v)=12`

Our first step would be to distribute the (6-2v) by -1, since there is an understood -1 in front of the parenthesis. We are then left with:

`7v-6+2v=12`

Combine like terms.

`9v-6=12`

Add 6 to both sides to isolate 9v on one side of the equation.

`9v=18`

Divide both sides by 9 to isolate v.

`(9v)/(9)=(18)/(9)`

Simplify.

`v=2`
