Question

V+8 over v = 1 over 2

Answer 1

The given expression is

`(v+8)/(v)=(1)/(2)`

First, we multiply 2v on each side.

`\begin{gathered} 2v\cdot(v+8)/(v)=2v\cdot(1)/(2) \\ 2v+16=v \end{gathered}`

Then, we subtract v on each side.

`\begin{gathered} 2v-v+16=v-v \\ v+16=0 \end{gathered}`

At last, we subtract 16 on each side.

`\begin{gathered} v+16-16=-16 \\ v=-16 \end{gathered}`

Therefore, the solution is -16.
