Question

Solve negative three v plus six equals nine for v

Answer 1

So it helps to write it in math language first. Can you do that?

Answer 2

v =-1

Answer 3

-3v+6=9

Answer 4

@Gabriel.Dalbani, enough. It really doesn't help people when you give them the answer like that. Persist and I'll have to report abuse of the forums.

Anyway, that's right. So do you know inverse operations?

Answer 5

yes

Answer 6

Great. So what would be your first step to solving this equation?

Answer 7

am not sure

Answer 8

So you want to start by isolating the variable, right? So we need to get rid of that 6 that's hanging around near him. What would we do to get rid of it?

Answer 9

divide by 6 to both sides

Answer 10

Not divide. What is the 6 doing in relationship to the x? It isn't being multiplied.

Answer 11

We would have to subtract 6. Right?
