Question

complete the process of solving the equation. fill in all missing terms and select all missing descriptions. simplify any fractions. \\(\frac{v - 2}{-17} = 1\\) \\(v - 2 = \square\\) \\(v = \square\\)

Explanation:

Step1: Multiply both sides by -17

To solve for \( v - 2 \), we multiply both sides of the equation \(\frac{v - 2}{-17} = 1\) by \(-17\). Using the multiplication property of equality, we get \((v - 2)=\ 1\times(-17)\). So \( v - 2=-17 \).

Step2: Add 2 to both sides

To solve for \( v \), we add 2 to both sides of the equation \( v - 2=-17 \). Using the addition property of equality, we have \( v=-17 + 2 \), which simplifies to \( v=-15 \).

Answer:

First blank (for \( v - 2 \)): \(-17\) (description: Multiply both sides by -17)
Second blank (for \( v \)): \(-15\) (description: Add 2 to both sides)
