Question

Solve for v.
7(v-3)+7v = 21
Simplify your answer as much as possible.

Answer 1

v = 3

Explanation:

7(v - 3) + 7v = 21

distribute the 7 into the parentheses

7v -21 +7v = 21

combine like terms

14v - 21 = 21

add 21 on both sides

14v + 21 - 21 = 21 + 21 which equals 14v = 42

divide both sides by 14 to isolate v

14v/14 = 42/14

v = 3

hope this helps :)
