# How do you solve v+ 303= - 307?

Apr 12, 2018

$v = - 610$

#### Explanation:

$v + 303 = - 307$
Subtract 303 from both sides
$v + 303 - \left(303\right) = - 307 - \left(303\right)$
Simplify
$v = - 610$

-610

#### Explanation:

$v + 303 = - 307$
$v = - 307 - 303$
$v = - 610$
In order to solve, you want to move all variables ($v$, in this case) to one side. To do this, you will need to add, subtract, multiply, or divide numbers to one side or the other.
Here, we moved $303$ over by subtracting, since it was being added to $v$.
Were $303$ being subtracted from $v$ , you would add it over to the other side. Same with multiplication and division being opposites of one another.

$v = - 610$.

#### Explanation:

You can get this answer by subtracting the $303$ from your left side and from your right side. The reason for this is because it makes both sides of the equation equal and whatever you do to one side you must do to another.

When you subtract $303$ from $- 307$ you will get the number $- 610$. This gives you $v = - 610$. You will divide by $1$ because when v is alone there is an invisible $1$ in front of it because you only have $1$ $v$. You will get your answer $v = - 610$. To check your answer you can plug in $- 610$ in place of v which would look like this : $- 610 + 303 = - 307$ which is correct. Hope this helps!!!!!
