What is v?
-15V-40 = 23-8V

V = -9

Step-by-step explanation:

-15V - 40 = 23 - 8V

The objective is to get V alone. To do this, first subtract -15V from both sides. Since -15V is a negative, subtracting it will be adding a positive.

-40 = 23 + 7V

Now that there is only one term with the variable V, subtract 23 from both sides.

-63 = 7V

Finally, divide both sides by 7 to get V completely isolated.

-9 = V.

The final answer is V = -9.

start with a line segment pq that we will copy. mark a point r that will be one endpoint of the new line segment. set the compasses' point on the point p of the line segment to be copied. adjust the compasses' width to the point q. the compasses' width is now equal to the length of the line segment pq.
