3(3v-6)=18

1 answer

To solve the equation \( 3(3v - 6) = 18 \), follow these steps:

  1. Distribute the 3 on the left side: \[ 9v - 18 = 18 \]

  2. Next, add 18 to both sides to isolate the term with \( v \): \[ 9v - 18 + 18 = 18 + 18 \] \[ 9v = 36 \]

  3. Now, divide both sides by 9 to solve for \( v \): \[ v = \frac{36}{9} = 4 \]

So, the solution is \( v = 4 \).
