Question

Which value of V makes 12 equals 12 + V - 8 / 2 a true statement

Answer 1

`12\text{ = 12+}(v-8)/(2)`

To determine the value of v that makes the equation true, we have to solve the equation and obtain the value of v

`\begin{gathered} 12\text{ = 12+}(v-8)/(2) \\ \text{subtract 12 from both sides} \\ 0=(v-8)/(2) \\ \text{cross multiply} \\ 0=\text{ v-8} \\ \text{add 8 to both sides} \\ 8=v \\ or\text{ } \\ v=8 \end{gathered}`

The value of v that makes the equation true is v=8
