Q55. - Algebra 1

Question

Solve each equation. Check your solution.

$-\frac{v}{5}=-45$

Step-by-Step Solution

Answer

The required solution is $v=225$.

Step 1. Write the given information.

The given equation is: $-\frac{v}{5}=-45$

Step 2. Calculation.

Consider the given equation,

$\begin{array}{l}-\frac{v}{5}=-45\\ v=45\left(5\right)\\ v=225\end{array}$

Step 3. Checking solution.

Substitute $v=225$ in the given equation, we get

$\begin{array}{l} -\frac{v}{5}=-45\\ -\frac{225}{5}=-45\\ -45=-45\end{array}$

Hence, proved.
