Question

How do you solve `-0.25(4v-8)=0.5(4-2v)`?

Answer 1

As below.

Explanation:

`-0.25 (4v - 8) = 0.5 (4 - 2v)`

Using PEMDAS rule,

`-0.25 * 4v + 0.25 * 8 = 0.5*4 - 0.5*2v`, removing bracelets.

`-v + 2 = 2 - v`, multiplying.

`cancel(-v )+cancel (v )=cancel( 2) - cancel(2)`, like terms together.

`0`
