Question

Solve for v.22 = -5v + 2(v+5)

Answer 1

First, we need to apply the distributive property as:

22 = -5v + 2(v + 5)

22 = -5v + 2*v + 2*5

22 = -5v + 2v + 10

22 = -3v + 10

Then, substracting 20 on both sides, we get:

22 - 10 = -3v + 10 - 10

12 = -3v

Dividing by -3, we get:

`\begin{gathered} (12)/(-3)=(-3v)/(-3) \\ -4=v \end{gathered}`

Answer: v = - 4
