v/2
+4=5
v/2
=1
Add 4 to both sides
Subtract 4 from both sides
Multiply both sides by 4
Divide both sides by 4
Apply the distributive property
v=
Multiply both sides by 2

Answer 1

Let's solve the equation step by step:

Starting with the equation: \[ \frac{v}{2} + 4 = 5 \]

1. Subtract 4 from both sides:
   This step removes the constant on the left side. \[ \frac{v}{2} = 5 - 4 \] \[ \frac{v}{2} = 1 \]

Now we have: \[ \frac{v}{2} = 1 \]

2. Multiply both sides by 2:
   This step will eliminate the fraction. \[ v = 2 \times 1 \] \[ v = 2 \]

So, the missing term is:

• \(v=2\)

And the missing description for the step we took after the equation was simplified to \(\frac{v}{2} = 1\) is:

• Multiply both sides by 2.

Thus, the completed process is:

1. Subtract 4 from both sides to get \(\frac{v}{2} = 1\).
2. Multiply both sides by 2 to find \(v = 2\).
