Question

How do you solve `\frac { 3} { 4} v - \frac { 1} { 2} = - \frac { 8} { 3}`?

Answer 1

First, use simple addition for combining the constants and then use the multiplication and the LCM the Least Common Multiple to solve for v.

Explanation:

`3/4v - 1/2 = -8/3`

Use multiplication and addition to combine -1/2 and -8/3.

`3/4v = -13/6`

Now, use multiplication to solve for v.

`v= -13/6*4/3`

`v=-13/9`
