Answer: They are equal. V = 6
Explanation:
First, expand your bracket by multiplying each term in the bracket by 3.
3(v-4) —> 3v-12
Now to make things easier forget your greater than or equal to sign and replace it with an =
3v-12 = 5v-24
We now need to get rid of one of the integers by adding it to both sides. Let’s add 24.
3v+12 = 5v
Take away 3v, from both sides, to isolate the integer.
12 = 2v
6=v
Put this into both equations.
3 (6-4) = 18-12 = 6
5(6) -24 = 30-24 = 6
Therefore they are equal.
