Question

Ahem math-

Answer 1

-9-(18v-5)=2(7v-16)-3v

Answer 2

ok

Answer 3

do you know what to do first

Answer 4

uh yeah

Answer 5

i think distrubtuibe

Answer 6

isnt it like -18v-4=14v-32-3v?

Answer 7

you'd have to multiply 9 by 18 and -5 first

Answer 8

*18v

Answer 9

wait what

Answer 10

cant i just remove the parenthesis?

Answer 11

uh no

Answer 12

pretty sure you arent supposed to

Answer 13

well you think you could show me how to do it but no answer

Answer 14

yeah

Answer 15

wait but a qquestion

Answer 16

is there supposed to be - sign after the -9 or no

Answer 17

is it supposed to be -9(18v-5) or -9-(18v-5)

Answer 18

and yeah

Answer 19

oh ok

Answer 20

so first you simplify both sides of the equation

Answer 21

tell me what you get

Answer 22

wym simplify?

Answer 23

I'll just show you

Answer 24

okay thanks lol sorry

Answer 25

−9−(18v−5)=2(7v−16)−3v

Distribute the negative sign

−9+−1(18v−5)=2(7v−16)−3v
−9+−1(18v)+(−1)(−5)=2(7v−16)−3v
−9+−18v+5=2(7v−16)−3v

Distribute

−9+−18v+5=(2)(7v)+(2)(−16)+−3v
−9+−18v+5=14v+−32+−3v

Combine all Like Terms

(−18v)+(−9+5)=(14v+−3v)+(−32) s
−18v+−4=11v+−32
−18v−4=11v−32

(sorry if this is confusing i'm bad at explaining without my voice)

Answer 26

So now we have this,

−18v−4=11v−32

we're gonna subtract 11v from both sides

Answer 27

you should get this:
−29v−4=−32

Answer 28

then add 4 to both sides

Answer 29

you should get this

−29v=−28

Answer 30

YAY THXS

Answer 31

LASTLYY divide it by -29

and you should get

v= 28/29

Answer 32

yw

Answer 33

Do you still need help Joe? Or can you close this?

Answer 34

oh right sorry timmy
