Question

Solve for v.
- 7(-2v+5) – 4y= 2(1-9) – 7
Simplify your answer as much as possible.

Answer 1

v = 6/7 + 2/7y

Explanation:

Step 1: Distribute

-7(-2v + 5) - 4y = 2(1 - 9) - 7

14v - 35 - 4y = 2 - 18 - 7

Step 2: Add 35 to both sides

14v - 35 + 35 - 4y = -23 + 35 + 4y

14v = 12 + 4y

Step 3: Divide both sides by 10

14v / 14 = 12 + 4y / 14

v = 6/7 + 2/7y

Answer: v = 6/7 + 2/7y
