Full solution

Q. Solve for vv.\newline12v+8=313v\frac{1}{2}v + 8 = 3 - \frac{1}{3}v\newlinev=v = __
  1. Combine like terms: Combine like terms by getting all vv terms on one side and constants on the other.12v+13v+8=3\frac{1}{2}v + \frac{1}{3}v + 8 = 3Combine the vv terms:(12+13)v+8=3\left(\frac{1}{2} + \frac{1}{3}\right)v + 8 = 3To add 12\frac{1}{2} and 13\frac{1}{3}, find a common denominator, which is 66:(36+26)v+8=3\left(\frac{3}{6} + \frac{2}{6}\right)v + 8 = 3(56)v+8=3\left(\frac{5}{6}\right)v + 8 = 3
  2. Isolate the v term: Isolate the v term by subtracting 88 from both sides.\newline(56)v+88=38(\frac{5}{6})v + 8 - 8 = 3 - 8\newline(56)v=5(\frac{5}{6})v = -5
  3. Solve for vv: Solve for vv by dividing both sides by 56\frac{5}{6}.(56)v(56)=5(56)\frac{\left(\frac{5}{6}\right)v}{\left(\frac{5}{6}\right)} = \frac{-5}{\left(\frac{5}{6}\right)}v=5×(65)v = -5 \times \left(\frac{6}{5}\right)v=6v = -6
