Question

-4(7+v)=28
Please answer this with how you got the answer.

Answer 1

v = -14

Explanation:

» Solution

Step 1: Distribute the -4 to the terms inside the parantheses.

• 
  `(-4)(7)+(-4)(v)=28`
• 
  `-28-4v=28`
• 
  `-4v-28=28`

Step 2: Add 28 to both sides.

• 
  `-4v-28+28=28+28`
• 
  `-4v=56`

Step 3: Divide both sides by -4.

• 
  `-4v/-4=56/-4`
• 
  `v=-14`

Therefore, v = -14.
