Question

Solve the equation for v

Answer 1

-(5v - 5) = -9 - 5v

• Distribute the negative inside the parentheses.

-5v + 5 = -9 - 5v

• Subtract 5 from both sides.

-5v = -14 - 5v

• Add 5v to both sides.

0 = -14

• This is untrue, so this means your answer is:

No solution

Answer 2

`distribute \: the \: negative \\ - 5v + 5 = - 9 - 5v \\ add \: 5v \: to \: both \: sides \\ 5 = - 9 \\ no \: solution`
