Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Combine like terms
3v + 4v
26=7v+12
Subtract 12 from both sides of the equation
26-12
12-12
14=7v
Simplify
so subtract the 12's
Divide both sides of the equation by the same term
14 divided by 7
7 divided by 7
do the division and move the term on the other side and it would be
v=2
Solution
v = 2
1. Combine like terms.
26 = 4v + 3v + 12
26 = 7v + 12
2. Subtract 12 from both sides of the equation.
26 - 12 = 7v + 12 - 12
3. Simplify.
·Subtract the numbers
V
14 = 7v
4. Divide both sides of the equation by the same term.
14/7 = 7v/7
5. Simplify
·Divide the numbers
·Cancel terms that are in both the numerator and denominator
·Move the variable to the left
He can make 7.5 shelves so, 7 shelves.
