Question

Solve for v.-3v + 16 > -7V - 8Write your answer with v first, followed by an inequality symbol.

Answer 1

The Solution.

The given equation is

$-3V+16>-7V-8$

Collecting the like terms, we have

$-3V+7V>-8-16$$4V>-24$

Dividing both sides by 4, we get

$\begin{gathered} V>\frac{-24}{4} \\ \\ V>-6 \end{gathered}$

Thus, the correct answer is V > -6
