Question

My sister has an algebra problem but I haven't done it in so long I can't even answer it...
v + 3/5 = 2 1/3

Answer 1

this is an equation. subtract 3/5 from both sides:
v + 3/5 - 3/5 = 2 1/3 - 3/5
v= 2 1/3 - 3/5

now you need how to do fractions

Answer 2

convert 2 1/3 to an improper fraction. 2 is the same as 6/3 so 2 1/3 = 7/3
7/3 - 3/5
use a common denominator of 15
