Question

Solve for y. -38 = 7v+17 – 12v

Answer 1

Answer:

v = 11

Step-by-step explanation:

$-38=7v+17-12v\qquad\text{subtract 17 from both sides}\\\\-38-17=7v+17-17-12v\qquad\text{combine like terms}\\\\-55=-5v\qquad\text{divide both sides by (-5)}\\\\\dfrac{-55}{-5}=\dfrac{-5v}{-5}\\\\11=v\to v=11$
