How do you solve $2 v - 6 = 10$ $2v - 6= 10$ ?

$v = 8$ $v = 8$

Explanation:

Start by adding $6$ $6$ to both sides to isolate the variable $v$ $v$ , that is trying to be found.

$2v cancel(- 6) = 10$
$color(white)"xx"cancel(color(red)(+6$ $color(white)"xx"color(red)(+6$

$2v =$ $color(white)"xxx"16$

Now divide both sides by $2$ :

$2v = 16$

$(cancel2v)/cancelcolor(red)2 = 16/color(red)2$

$v = 16/2$

$v = 8$
