Answer 1

Let's solve the given equation step by step and fill in the missing terms and descriptions.

We start with the equation:

\[ v - 12 - 14 = -16 \]

1. Combine like terms on the left side:

   \[ v - 26 = -16 \]

2. To isolate \(v\), add 26 to both sides:

\[ v - 26 + 26 = -16 + 26 \]

This simplifies to:

\[ v = 10 \]

Filling in the missing term and selecting the missing description, we have:

• The missing term is 10.
• The missing description is Add 26 to both sides.

So, the complete solution with the missing terms filled in is:

\[ v - 12 - 14 = -16 \]

Combine like terms:

\[ v - 26 = -16 \]

Add 26 to both sides:

\[ v = 10 \]

Thus, the final answer is:

\[ v = 10 \]
