Question

`6(5-8v)+12=-54`

Answer 1

v = 2

Explanation:

Given

6(5 - 8v) + 12 = - 54 ← distribute and simplify left side

30 - 48v + 12 = - 54

42 - 48v = - 54 ( subtract 42 from both sides )

- 48v = - 96 ( divide both sides by - 48 )

v = 2

Answer 2

`v = 2`

Explanation:

`6(5-8v)+12=-54 \\ 30 - 48v + 12 = - 54 \\ 42 - 48v = - 54 \\ - 48v = - 54 - 42 \\ - 48v = - 96 \\ \\ v = (( - 96))/(( - 48)) \\ \\ v = (96)/(48) \\ \\ v = 2`
