Question

What is the value of v if 13v = 65

Answer 1

Answer:

$v=5$

Explanation:

The equation is asking for multiplication (13 * v), and the opposite of multiplication is division. So if we divide 65 by 13, we find 5.

13 * 5 = 65

Answer 2

Answer:

v = -5

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Pull out like factors :

  -13v - 65  =   -13 • (v + 5)

2. Solve :    -13   =  0

This equation has no solution.

A a non-zero constant never equals zero.

3. Solve  :    v+5 = 0

Subtract  5  from both sides of the equation :

                     v = -5
