Question

How do you solve 2v+18=16-4(v+7)

Answer 1

2v + 18 = 16 - 4(v + 7)

Simplify by removing the parenthesis.

2v + 18 = 16 - 4v - 28

Now, simply add 4v to both sides.

2v + 4v + 18 = 16 - 28

Simplify.

6v + 18 = -12

Now, subtract 18 from both sides.

6v = -12 - 18

Simplify.

6v = -30

Finally, divide both sides by 6.

6v ÷ 6 = 30 ÷ 6

Simplify.

v = 5
