Answer: the answer is 9

Explanation:

1. open the bracket by multiplying: 2(3v+8)=70

6v+16=70

2. take the 16 over the equals sign. note:(the plus sign in front of the 16 changes to a minus sign.)

6v=70-16

6v=54

3. divide both sides by 6

6v/6=54/6

final answer: v=9

Answer:v = 9

Explanation:

Simplifying

2(3v + 8) = 70

Reorder the terms:

2(8 + 3v) = 70

(8 * 2 + 3v * 2) = 70

(16 + 6v) = 70

Solving

16 + 6v = 70

Solving for variable 'v'.

Move all terms containing v to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '-16' to each side of the equation.

16 + -16 + 6v = 70 + -16

Combine like terms: 16 + -16 = 0

0 + 6v = 70 + -16

6v = 70 + -16

Combine like terms: 70 + -16 = 54

6v = 54

Divide each side by '6'.

v = 9
