Question

What is the value of v? 4/5(v−7)=2

Answer 1

Answer:

$v=\frac{19}{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$\frac{4}{5}(v-7)=2$

WE need to find the value of v. solve for v

We have fraction on the left side of the equation. To remove the fraction , flip the fraction and multiply it on both sides

$\frac{4}{5}(v-7)=2$

$(v-7)=2 \cdot \frac{5}{4}$

$v-7=\frac{5}{2}$

To get 'v' alone, we add 7 on both sides

$v=\frac{5}{2}+7$

$v=\frac{5}{2}+\frac{14}(2}$

$v=\frac{19}{2}$

Answer 2

4/5(v - 7) = 2...distribute the 4/5 thru the parenthesis
4/5v - 28/5 = 2 ...multiply everything by 5
4v - 28 = 10...add 28 to both sides
4v = 10 + 28
4v = 38
v = 38/4 reduces to 19/2 or 9 1/2 <==
