Question

solve for v.
16 = - 9v - 6 + 7v
simplify your answer as much as possible.
v =

Explanation:

Step1: Combine like - terms

$16=-9v + 7v-6$
$16=(-9 + 7)v-6$
$16=-2v-6$

Step2: Add 6 to both sides

$16 + 6=-2v-6+6$
$22=-2v$

Step3: Divide both sides by - 2

$\frac{22}{-2}=\frac{-2v}{-2}$
$v=-11$

Answer:

$v = - 11$
