Answer:

Our main goal is to isolate the variable here (v).

And if we want to solve this equation,

we must utilize inverse operations.

Given that:-

3v + 11 = 50

We always first get rid of the constants.

And in this case, 11 is our constant.

So the inverse operation of addition is subtraction (because 11 is being added)

-11 -11

3v = 39

Now, we are left with a co-efficient.

To isolate v, we must apply the inverse operation of multiplication which is division (because 3 and 'v' are being multiplied).

/3 /3

V = 13
