Full solution

Q. Solve for vv.\newline4=v14 = |v| - 1\newlineWrite your answers as integers or as proper or improper fractions in simplest form.\newlinev=v = _____ or v=v = _____
  1. Isolate absolute value: Add 11 to both sides of the equation to isolate the absolute value on one side.\newline4=v14 = |v| - 1\newline4+1=v1+14 + 1 = |v| - 1 + 1\newline5=v5 = |v|
  2. Determine possible values: Determine the two possible values for vv that could result in the absolute value being 55. If v=5|v| = 5, then v=5v = 5 or v=5v = -5.
  3. Check for errors: Check for any potential math errors in the previous steps.\newlineAdding 11 to both sides in Step 11 was done correctly, and the understanding of the absolute value in Step 22 is correct.
