Solve the linear equation and simplify your answer. Express your solution as an integer, a simplified fraction, or a decimal rounded to two decimal places.
−1/5v−7/2=−1/3v−5/2



Answer :

7.5

==============

The equation is:

  • -1/5v - 7/2 = -1/3v - 5/2

Combine like terms to get

  • (-1/5 + 1/3)v = 7/2  - 5/2
  • (-3/15 + 5/15)v = 2/2
  • (2/15)v = 1
  • v = 15/2
  • v = 7.5

Therefore, the solution is v = 7.5.
