8 = 8v - 4 (v + 8)
Distribute the 4 through the parentheses
8 = 8v - 4v - 32
combine like terms
8 = 4v - 32
add 32 to both sides
8 + 32 = 4v -32 + 32
combine like terms
40 = 4v
divide each side by 4
40/10 = v
4 = v
v= 4
You would solve it in two parts.
4*n = 44 Divide by 4
4n/4 = 44/4
n = 11
=============
z^m * z^2 = z^9
When the bases are the same (on the left) the powers on the left add
m + 2
The powers on the left side of the equation are the same as the powers on the right when the bases are the same.
m + 2 = 9 Subtract 2 from both sides.
m + 2 - 2 = 9 - 2
m = 7

No, 1/2 is bigger than 1/3 because:-
1/2 = 3/6
1/3 = 2/6
Compare
3/6 is larger, which means 1/2 is larger since they both equal each other.
Answer: 1/2 is greater than 1/3
