Equations
Given equation:
-2 + v = 6
In order to isolate v on one side of this equation, add 2 to both sides:
-2 + 2 + v = 6 + 2
0 + v = 6 + 2
v = 8
Therefore, the value of v is 8.
To check our solution, substitute 8 for v:
-2 + 8 = 6
6 = 6
Since the statement is true, we know that v = 8 is indeed the solution for this equation.
