Began by dividing 850 by 1, then 2, then 3, and so on, and I made a list of the whole numbers.
They were 1, 2, 5, 10, 17, 25, 34, 50, 85, 170, 425, and 850
By inspection, the two smallest numbers which when multiplied together yielded 850 were 25 and 34.
A) 8/16 = 1/2; YES
B) 2^-1 = 1/2^1 = 1/2; YES
C) 2^0 = 1; NO
D) 2^1 = 2; NO
Hope this helped!
<u><em>v=-6 is the right answer. </em></u> First you had to subtract by 7 from both sides of equation, and it gave us, 
. And then simplify, and it gave us, 
. You can also add by 8v from both sides of equation, and it gave us, 
. Next simplify, and it gave us, 
. Then you divide by 2 from both sides of equation, and it gave us, 
. And finally simplify, and it gave us the answer is <u><em>v=-6 is the right answer.</em></u> Hope this helps! And thank you for posting your question at here on brainly, and have a great day. -Charlie
