Question

Find the expression that represents the value of v. 2(v - 8) = n+y

Answer 1

Answer:

$v = \frac{n+y}{2} +8$

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the expression that represents v, we have to isolate v. Our first step is distributing the 2 to both v and 8.

(2(v) - 2(8))

2v - 16 = n + y

Now add 16 to both sides.

2v = n + y + 16

Now divide both sides by 2, this will isolate v and give us the initial value of it.

$v = \frac{n+y}{2} +8$

Answer 2

Answer:

$v = \frac{n+y+16}{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

2(v-8) = n+y

Distribute

2v-16 = n+y

Move -16 to the other side

2v = n+y+16

Divide everything by 2

$v = \frac{n+y+16}{2}$
