Question

Solve for y.
7v + 25 = 5(v + 7)
Simplify your answer as much as possible.

Answer 1

v = 5

Explanation:

Distribute on the left:

5 ( v + 7 )

( 5 x v ) + ( 5 x 7 )

5v + 35

7v + 25 = 5v + 35

Subtract 5v from each side:

2v + 25 = 35

subtract 25 from each side:

2v = 10

Divide each side by 2:

v = 5
