3v + 9 - 11v = -23

Answer 1

This is my last question, yayyyy

Answer 2

@Will.H

Answer 3

any thoughts?

Answer 4

HINT: you should simplify alike terms such that 3v and -11v
3v - 11v

Answer 5

I always get confused when there's 2 variables in an equation instead of one :/ so both v values have to be the same right?

Answer 6

Would it simplify to 9- 8v = -23?

Answer 7

no no
it is 3v - 11v = ?v
HINT: you can draw a numbers line like start counting

Answer 8

or you can set it like this
-11v + 3v = ?v
-11 add to it 3 positive numbers it would equal -8v

Answer 9

make any sense?

Answer 10

Sort of... But wouldn't I still end up with -8v?

Answer 11

TERRIFIC that's right. so we simplified the terms with variables and now we have the expression as
-8v + 9 = -23

Answer 12

can you solve it from here?
