Question

Hey can you help me solve this?
-2v-7=-23

Answer 1

multiply everything in the equation times -1.
that will give you \[2v+7=23\]
\[2v+7\color{blue}{ -7 } =23\color{blue}{ -7 } \]\[2v=16\]\[2v\color{blue}{ \div 2 } =16\color{blue}{ \div 2 }\]\[\color{red}{ v~=~? }\]

Answer 2

-2V-7=23
+7 +7
-2V=30
divide by 2
-v=15
