Question 130372

{{{(1/2)v=-(1/2)v+3/8}}} Start with the given equation




{{{(8)((1/cross(2))v)=(8)(-(1/cross(2))v+3/cross(8))}}} Multiply both sides by the LCM of 8. This will eliminate the fractions  (note: if you need help with finding the LCM, check out this <a href=http://www.algebra.com/algebra/homework/divisibility/least-common-multiple.solver>solver</a>)




{{{4v=-4v+3}}} Distribute and multiply the LCM to each side




{{{4v+4v=3}}} Add 4v to both sides



{{{8v=3}}} Combine like terms on the left side



{{{v=(3)/(8)}}} Divide both sides by 8 to isolate v

Answer:

So our answer is {{{v=3/8}}}  (which is approximately {{{v=0.375}}} in decimal form)
