Question

2(v + 13) = 14
How do you solve this two step equation?

Answer 1

solving for v or your variable

v= -6

Explanation:

1. distribute the 2 outside the parentheses to get: 2v + 26 = 14
2. Then you would solve for your variable in this case, v by subtracting 26 to get 2v = -12
3. then you divide by 2 to get v by itself

getting:

v = -6
