Question

Solve the equation for v.

v over 8 minus 4 equals negative 12

v = −128
v = −64
v = 16
v = 92

Answer 1

Answer: v/8 - 4 = (-12)

-12 + 4 = (-8)

what divided by 8 is 8?

8/8 = 1 so 8 x 8 = 64

this means v = -64

64/8 - 4 = -12

- 64/8 is -8 and that minus 4 is -12

Answer 2

`(v)/(8) - 4 = - 12 \\ (v)/(8) = - 12 + 4 \\ (v)/(8) = - 8`

Now I will use CROSS MULTIPLICATION

`v = 8( - 8) \\ v = -6 4`
