Mr. Simms use and give away total 9 pencils.
Hey!
In order to simplify this equation, we'll first have to multiply both sides of the equation by v. This will give us v on its own.
<em>Original Equation :</em>

<em>New Equation {Added Multiply Both Sides by V} :</em>

<em>Solution {New Equation Solved} :</em>

Now we'll switch sides to get v on the left side of the equation which is generally where we always want the variables to be located in these types of equations.
<em>Old Equation :</em>

<em>New Equation {Switched} :</em>

Now we'll divide both sides by v to get v on its own.
<em>Old Equation :</em>

<em>New Equation {Added Divide Both Sides by V} :</em>

<em>Solution {New Equation Solved} :</em>

<em>So, this means that in the equation
