Solve using inverse operations

Question

V + 11/3 = 1/3

Answer 1

To solve the equation \( V + \frac{11}{3} = \frac{1}{3} \) using inverse operations, we want to isolate \( V \).

1. Subtract \( \frac{11}{3} \) from both sides of the equation:

\[ V + \frac{11}{3} - \frac{11}{3} = \frac{1}{3} - \frac{11}{3} \]

2. This simplifies to:

\[ V = \frac{1}{3} - \frac{11}{3} \]

3. Now, subtract the fractions on the right side:

\[ V = \frac{1 - 11}{3} = \frac{-10}{3} \]

Thus, the solution is:

\[ V = -\frac{10}{3} \]
