Question

complete the process of solving the equation. fill in the missing term and select the missing description. simplify any fractions. -3(v + 14) = 6; v + 14 = -2; v = blank subtract 14 from both side

Explanation:

Step1: Analyze first step

To get from \(-3(v + 14)=6\) to \(v + 14=-2\), we divide both sides of the equation by \(-3\). So the missing description for the first step is "Divide both sides by -3".

Step2: Solve for v

We have \(v + 14=-2\). To solve for \(v\), we subtract 14 from both sides. So \(v=-2 - 14=-16\).

Answer:

First missing description: Divide both sides by -3; \(v = -16\)
