13.7v-6.5=2.3v%2B8.3 Start with the given equation


10%2813.7v-6.5%29=10%282.3v%2B8.3%29 Multiply both sides by 10 to move the decimal on each number 1 time. This will make every number a whole number.

137v-65=23v%2B83 Distribute and multiply


137v=23v%2B83%2B65Add 65 to both sides


137v-23v=83%2B65 Subtract 23v from both sides


114v=83%2B65 Combine like terms on the left side


114v=148 Combine like terms on the right side


v=%28148%29%2F%28114%29 Divide both sides by 114 to isolate v



v=74%2F57 Reduce

Answer:
So our answer is v=74%2F57 (which is approximately v=1.29824561403509 in decimal form)
