OpenStudy (raffle_snaffle):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

is the answer v= -1

OpenStudy (raffle_snaffle):

close

OpenStudy (raffle_snaffle):

not quite

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what do I do

OpenStudy (anonymous):

is it v=1

OpenStudy (texaschic101):

yes

OpenStudy (texaschic101):

to check your answer, sub in 1 for v v - 10 = -9 1 - 10 = -9 -9 = -9 (correct)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

v-10=-3

OpenStudy (texaschic101):

what do you have to do to get v by itself ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

subtract 3 from both sides

OpenStudy (texaschic101):

try adding 10 to both sides and what do you get ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

is it v= 7

OpenStudy (texaschic101):

watch.... v - 10 = -3 (add 10 to both sides) v - 10 + 10 = -3 + 10 v = -3 + 10 v = 7 I added 10 to make the 10's cancel out on the left side. But what you do on one side you have to do on the other side. Do you understand ?

OpenStudy (texaschic101):

you can then check your answer.. v - 10 = -3 7 - 10 = -3 -3 = -3 (correct)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

how is it -3
