Question

How do you find a variable to 4-2(v+9)=26

Answer 1

Answer:

V=20

Step-by-step explanation:

Simplify both sides of the equation.

4−2(v+9)=26

4+(−2)(v)+(−2)(9)=26(Distribute)

4+−2v+−18=26

(−2v)+(4+−18)=26(Combine Like Terms)

−2v+−14=26

−2v−14=26

Step 2: Add 14 to both sides.

−2v−14+14=26+14

−2v=40

Step 3: Divide both sides by -2.

−2v

−2

=

40

−2

v=−20
