Answer: v = 0
Step-by-Step:
Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.
−8(7v+2)=−16+9v
(−8)(7v)+(−8)(2)=−16+9v(Distribute)
−56v+−16=−16+9v
−56v−16=9v−16
Step 2: Subtract 9v from both sides.
−56v−16−9v=9v−16−9v
−65v−16=−16
Step 3: Add 16 to both sides.
−65v−16+16=−16+16
−65v=0
Step 4: Divide both sides by -65.
-65v/-65 = 0/-65
v = 0
