Question

Solve negative one equals negative two v plus two-thirds for v.

Answer 1

We write it out as an equation:

-1 = -2v + 2/3

Rearrange:
-1 -2/3 = -2v

Multiply by negative to equal positive
1 2/3 = 2v

Make 1 into a fraction
3/3 + 2/3 = 2v
5/3 = 2v
10/6 = 2v
5/6 = v

The answer is: v equals 5/6
