Explanation:

Hi, Martin’s answer is incorrect.

A. He has to divide 76 by 19, instead of subtract 19 to 76.

The correct steps are:

19v = 76

Since 19 is multiplying the variable, to eliminate it we have to divide by 19.

v = 76/19

v = 4

B. This equation has one solution. It’s v=4

Feel free to ask for more if needed or if you did not understand something.
