Solve for v.

Question

-10 = v/2 - 8

Simplify your answer as much as possible.

Answer 1

To solve for v, we first want to isolate the v term. We can do this by adding 8 to both sides of the equation:

-10 + 8 = v/2 - 8 + 8

-2 = v/2

Now, we want to get rid of the fraction so we can do this by multiplying both sides of the equation by 2:

-2 * 2 = (v/2) * 2

-4 = v

So, v = -4.
