v+8 over v = 1 over 2

Sagot :

The given expression is

[tex]\frac{v+8}{v}=\frac{1}{2}[/tex]

First, we multiply 2v on each side.

[tex]\begin{gathered} 2v\cdot\frac{v+8}{v}=2v\cdot\frac{1}{2} \\ 2v+16=v \end{gathered}[/tex]

Then, we subtract v on each side.

[tex]\begin{gathered} 2v-v+16=v-v \\ v+16=0 \end{gathered}[/tex]

At last, we subtract 16 on each side.

[tex]\begin{gathered} v+16-16=-16 \\ v=-16 \end{gathered}[/tex]

Therefore, the solution is -16.
