How to solve for v in this fraction? putting it down below. Help is appreciated (:

Answer 1

\[\frac{ 5 }{ 6 } = \frac{ v-2 }{ 8 }\]

Answer 2

we can say :
5*8=6v+6*(-2)
K ?:)

Answer 3

would I now distribute 6 to (v-2)?

Answer 4

Yep !

Answer 5

where do I go after that? 5*8 = 6v - 12

Answer 6

then we have :
40=6v-12
40+12=6v

Answer 7

divide by 6?
