Let's solve your equation step-by-step. 3v +9 − 8v = −31 Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation. − 5v +9 = −31 Step 2: Subtract 9 from both sides. − 5v +9 −9 = −31 −9 − 5v = −40 Step 3: Divide both sides by -5. − 5v −5 = −40 −5 v= 8
To solve for v in the equation 3 v + 9 − 8 v = − 31 , we combined like terms, isolated the variable, and found that v = 8 .
