Question

6v - 12 = -6
6v = 6
v =
add 12 to both sides
subtract 12 from both sides
multiply both sides by 12
divide both sides by 12
apply the distributive property

Explanation:

Step1: Determine the operation

To get from \(6v - 12=-6\) to \(6v = 6\), we add 12 to both sides. So the first operation is "Add 12 to both sides".

Step2: Solve for \(v\)

Now we have \(6v=6\). To solve for \(v\), we divide both sides by 6. So \(v=\frac{6}{6}=1\).

Answer:

First operation: Add 12 to both sides; \(v = 1\)
