This equation can be written as
(v-8)(v+5)/ (v-8)(v-3)
= v+5/v-3
Subtract 7 from each side
so it now it should look like this
4y<24
Now divide each side by 4
y<6
y<6 is the answer
12 boxes of pasta packed in an hour and half then boxes packed in 1 hour will be 12/1.5 = 8
thus 8 boxes packed in an hour . this is called the unit rate, so the answer will be 8
