Question

What is the value of v if 13v = 65

Answer 1

v = -5

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Pull out like factors :

-13v - 65 = -13 • (v + 5)

2. Solve : -13 = 0

This equation has no solution.

A a non-zero constant never equals zero.

3. Solve : v+5 = 0

Subtract 5 from both sides of the equation :

v = -5

Answer 2

`v=5`

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation is asking for multiplication (13 * v), and the opposite of multiplication is division. So if we divide 65 by 13, we find 5.

13 * 5 = 65
