Question 153250
{{{1-(3/4)(v+2)=-5}}} Start with the given equation.



{{{4(1-(3/cross(4))(v+2))=4(-5)}}} Multiply both sides by the LCD {{{4}}} to clear any fractions.



{{{4-3(v+2)=-20}}} Distribute and multiply.



{{{4-3v-6=-20}}} Distribute again.



{{{-3v-2=-20}}} Combine like terms on the left side.



{{{-3v=-20+2}}} Add {{{2}}} to both sides.



{{{-3v=-18}}} Combine like terms on the right side.



{{{v=(-18)/(-3)}}} Divide both sides by {{{-3}}} to isolate {{{v}}}.



{{{v=6}}} Reduce.

Answer:


So the answer is {{{v=6}}}
