Question

How do you solve `2v - 6= 10`?

Answer 1

`v = 8`

Explanation:

Start by adding `6` to both sides to isolate the variable `v`, that is trying to be found.

`2v cancel(- 6) = 10`
`color(white)"xx"cancel(color(red)(+6` `color(white)"xx"color(red)(+6`

`2v =` `color(white)"xxx"16`

Now divide both sides by `2`:

`2v = 16`

`(cancel2v)/cancelcolor(red)2 = 16/color(red)2`

`v = 16/2`

`v = 8`
