The value of
v which makes the statement true is 8.

Explanation

The given statement is:
12= 12+ (v-8)/(2)

For finding the value of
v which makes the statement true, we will just solve the above equation for
v.

First we will multiply both sides by 2 and then solve for
v. So.......


12*2=(12+(v-8)/(2))*2\\ \\ 24=24+v-8\\ \\ 24=v+16\\ \\ v=24-16=8

Thus, the value of
v which makes the statement true is 8.
