8%2Fv=9%2Fv-1%2F2 Start with the given equation


2cross%28v%29%288%2Fcross%28v%29%29=2v%289%2Fcross%28v%29-1%2Fcross%282%29%29 Multiply both sides by the LCD 2v


16=18-v Distribute and multiply


0=18-v-16Subtract 16 from both sides


%2Bv=18-16 Add v to both sides


v%2B0=2 Combine like terms on the right side
