How do you solve #9v -2 = 5v -2#? Algebra Linear Equations Equations with Variables on Both Sides 1 Answer mason m Dec 13, 2015 #v=0# Explanation: #9v-2=5v-2# Add #2# to both sides. #9v-2+2=5v-2+2# #9v=5v# Subtract #5v# from both sides. #9v-5v=5v-5v# #4v=0# Divide both sides by #4#. #v=0# Answer link Related questions How do you check solutions to equations with variables on both sides?
