Question

solve for v.
3v + 9 - 11v = - 23
simplify your answer as much as possible.
v =

Explanation:

Step1: Combine like - terms

$3v-11v + 9=-23$
$(3 - 11)v+9=-23$
$-8v + 9=-23$

Step2: Subtract 9 from both sides

$-8v+9 - 9=-23 - 9$
$-8v=-32$

Step3: Divide both sides by - 8

$\frac{-8v}{-8}=\frac{-32}{-8}$
$v = 4$

Answer:

$v = 4$
