Question

-40 -8v = 2v-5 (1-5v)

Answer 1

v = -1

First, distribute the equation. This gives you -40-8v=2v-5+25v.

Now, combine like terms. This gives you -40-8v=27v-5.

Now, add 40 to both sides. This gives you -8v=27v+35.

Now, subtract 27v from both sides. This gives you -35v=35.

Now, divide -35 on both sides. This gives you v=-35/35.

v=-1.
