8) v = -3
9) m = 4
Step-by-step explanation:
8)
[First distribute the factored terms on the left side of the equation]
2(v + 4) + 3(4v + 5) = -19 →
2(v) + 2(4) + 3(4v) + 3(5) = -19 →
2v + 8 + 12v + 15 = -19 →
[Next, add the like terms together]
(2v + 12v) + (8 + 15) = -19 →
14v + 23 = -19 →
[Subtract 23 from both sides to isolate the constant term]
14v + 23 – 23 = -19 – 23 →
14v = -42 →
[Lastly, divide both sides by 14 in order to obtain the value of v from the coefficient of 14 in 14v]
14v / 14 = -42 / 14 →
v = -3
9)
[Start by distributing the factored term on the left side of the equation]
2(m – 1) = 10 – m →
2m – 2 = 10 – m →
[Next, add m to both sides in order to isolate the m term and remove -m from the right side of the equation]
2m – 2 + m = 10 – m + m →
3m – 2 = 10 →
[Add 2 to both sides to isolate the constant term and remove -2 on the left side of the equation]
3m – 2 + 2 = 10 + 2 →
3m = 12 →
[Finally, divide by 3 on both sides in order to reduce the coefficient of 3 in 3m to get m]
3m / 3 = 12 / 3 →
m = 4
