Question

Solve for V . 7v-20=-6(v-1) Simplify your answer as much as possible.

Answer 1

v= 2

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

7v−20=−6(v−1)

7v+−20=−6v+6

7v−20=−6v+6

Step 2: Add 6v to both sides.

7v−20+6v=−6v+6+6v

13v−20=6

Step 3: Add 20 to both sides.

13v−20+20=6+20

13v=26

Step 4: Divide both sides by 13.

13v/13 = 26/13

v=2

Answer 2

v = 2

Explanation:

You can start by distributing -6:

7v - 20 = -6v + 6

To combine the like x terms, you can add 6v to both sides:

7v - 20 = -6v + 6

+6v +6v

13v - 20 = 6

Now add 20 to both sides to isolate the x term:

13v - 20 = 6

+20 +20

13v = 26

You can divide by 13 on both sides to find v,

13v = 26

÷13 ÷13

v = 2
