Question

solve for v.
2(3v + 8) = 40
simplify your answer as much as possible.
v =

Explanation:

Step1: Divide both sides by 2

$\frac{2(3v+8)}{2} = \frac{40}{2}$
$3v + 8 = 20$

Step2: Subtract 8 from both sides

$3v + 8 - 8 = 20 - 8$
$3v = 12$

Step3: Divide both sides by 3

$\frac{3v}{3} = \frac{12}{3}$
$v = 4$

Answer:

$v = 4$
