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

Answer 1

Eva Abramson

#v = 8#

Start by adding #6# to both sides to isolate the variable #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#

To solve the equation 2v - 6 = 10, you would first isolate the variable term by adding 6 to both sides of the equation. This gives you 2v = 16. Then, you would divide both sides of the equation by 2 to solve for v. So, v = 8.

When evaluating a one-sided limit, you need to be careful when a quantity is approaching zero since its sign is different depending on which way it is approaching zero from. Let us look at some examples.
