Question

Solve for v. -8(v+7)=3v-23 Simplify your answer as much as possible. v=

Answer 1

v=-3

Explanation:

-8v-56=3v-23 (brackets expanded)

-56+23=3v+8v (like termz together)

-33=11v (simplified according to maths operation )

-3=v

Answer 2

v = -3

Explanation:

-8(v + 7) = 3v - 23

Expand.

-8v - 56 = 3v - 23

Add -3v and 56 on both sides.

-8v - 56 + 56 - 3v = 3v - 23 + 56 - 3v

-8v - 3v = -23 + 56

Combine like terms.

-11v = 33

Divide -11 into both sides.

-11v/-11 = 33/-11

v = -3
