Question

What is -110=-5(1+7v)

Answer 1

v = 3

Explanation:

-110 = -5(1 + 7v)

-110 = -5 + -35v

-110 + 5 = -35v

-105 = -35v

Divide both sides of the equation by -35 so v can stand alone

`(-105)/(-35) = (-35v)/(-35)`

3 = v

∴v = 3

Answer 2

v=3

Explanation:

First you must use the distributive property to solve for v. To do this multiply ever term in the parentheses by -5 on the right-hand side to get -110=-5-35v

Now you can solve by adding 5 to both sides, cancelling out the -5 on the right-hand side of the equation and getting -105=-35v. Now, all you have to do is divide both sides by -35 and get 3=v.
