Question

Complete the Next Step: A partial solution to the equation −9 + 8v = 7 + 4v is given below. Choose the step that is missing from the solution.

−9 + 8v = 7 + 4v

4v = 16
v = 4

8v = −2 + 4v

−9 + 12v = 7

8v = 16 + 4v

−2 + 8v = 4v

Answer 1

So you're missing the part where they combine like terms...where they combine the numbers with a 'v' and the constants

so you needed to add 9 to both sides

this would give you ...?
