Please help!! ASAP!

Answer 1

6(5 - 8v) + 12 = -54

...multiply 6

30 - 48v + 12 = -54

...simplify

42 - 48v = -54

...subtract 42

-48v = -96

...divide -48

v = 2

Answer 2

We are given:

`6(5-8v)+12=-54`

Let's simplify the equation by using the distributive property. Multiply 6 by everything in the parenthesis. We then get:

`30-48v+12=-54`

Combine like terms on the left side of the equation:

`42-48v=-54`

Subtract 42 from both sides to isolate the v on the left.

`-48v=-96`

Divide both sides by -48 to isolate the variable, v.

`(-48v)/(-48)=(-96)/(-48)`

Simplify.

`v=2`
