Solve for v. 6=2v+42+2v Simplify your answer as much as possible.

Answer 1

To solve the equation \(6 = 2v + 42 + 2v\), we can first combine the like terms on the right side.

1. Combine the \(2v\) and \(2v\): \[ 6 = 4v + 42 \]

2. Next, we'll isolate \(4v\) by subtracting 42 from both sides: \[ 6 - 42 = 4v \] \[ -36 = 4v \]

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

Thus, the solution is: \[ \boxed{-9} \]
