Question

-4v - 5 = -53 help me please

Answer 1

Answer: v = 12

Step-by-step explanation:

-4v - 5 = -53

add 5 to both sides

-4v = -48

divide both sides by -4

v=12

Answer 2

Answer:

v=12

Step-by-step explanation:

  Rearrange the equation by subtracting what is to the right of the equal sign from both sides of the equation :

                    -4*v-5-(-53)=0

Pull out like factors :

  -4v + 48  =   -4 • (v - 12)

 Solve :    -4   =  0

This equation has no solution.

A a non-zero constant never equals zero.

 Solve  :    v-12 = 0  

Add  12  to both sides of the equation :  

                     v = 12

To check yourself:

-4(12)-5 = -53
