Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Define Equation

-9/8 = v - 1/2

Step 2: Solve for v

1. Add 1/2 on both sides:                    -5/8 = v
2. Rewrite:                                            v = -5/8

Step 3: Check

Plug in v into the original equation to verify it's a solution.

1. Substitute in v:                    -9/8 = -5/8 - 1/2
2. Subtract:                              -9/8 = -9/8

Here we see that -9/8 does indeed equal -9/8.

∴ v = -5/8 is the solution to the equation.

Answer 2

Answer:

V= -5/8 or -0.625

Step-by-step explanation:

-9/8=v-1/2

-v=-1/2+9/8

-v=5/8
