Solve for-5/9=-2v+1/3 v lol why must they add letters to math though?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

haha the letter is just an unknown number.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

lol i think its all unknow but the choices are 4/9 -1/18 1/9 5/6

OpenStudy (anonymous):

haha well you can add the right part, the -2v+1/3v which gives you?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ughh i dunno? the letters got me confused

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay, do -2+1/3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok hold on

OpenStudy (anonymous):

1.6

OpenStudy (anonymous):

leave it in fraction form.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

1/6?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no -5/3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

there we go!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so now all you do is put that v back on and you have -5/3v

OpenStudy (anonymous):

but thats not a choice 4/9 -1/18 1/9 5/6

OpenStudy (anonymous):

because its put back into the equation so you have -5/9=-5/3v.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

lol ok

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so you would get common denominators.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

9

OpenStudy (anonymous):

5/9-45/9 right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

-5/9 and -15/9, you multiply the -5/3 by 3.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok but do i would subract bc its opposite

OpenStudy (anonymous):

well you wouldnt subtract, you would divide.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok hold on

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i came up with 1/243 lol
