Question

complete the process of solving the equation.
fill in all missing terms and select all missing descriptions. simplify any fractions.
$5(-v - 12) - v = v - 4$
$-5v - \boxed{60} - v = v - 4$ apply the distributive property
$\boxed{-6v} - 60 = v - 4$ \dropdownmenu{}
$\boxed{-7v} - 60 = -4$ \dropdownmenu{add -5v to both sides\
subtract -5v from both sides\
multiply both sides by -5v\
divide both sides by -5v\
combine like terms}
$-7v = \boxed{56}$
$v = \boxed{-8}$ divide both sides by -7

Explanation:

Step1: Apply distributive property

$5(-v - 12) - v = v - 4$
$-5v - 60 - v = v - 4$

Step2: Combine like terms

$-5v - v - 60 = v - 4$
$-6v - 60 = v - 4$

Step3: Subtract $v$ from both sides

$-6v - v - 60 = -4$
$-7v - 60 = -4$

Step4: Add 60 to both sides

$-7v = -4 + 60$
$-7v = 56$

Step5: Divide by -7 on both sides

$v = \frac{56}{-7}$
$v = -8$

Answer:

Missing term 1: $60$ (from distributive property)
Missing term 2: $-6v$ (from combining like terms)
Missing term 3: $-7v$ (from subtracting $v$ from both sides)
Missing term 4: $56$ (from adding 60 to both sides)
Missing term 5: $-8$ (from dividing by -7)
