Solve the equation.
8 (2-6v) +19=-61

v = 2

Explanation:

8(2 − 6v) + 19 = −61

[ Simplify both sides of the equation ]

8(2 − 6v) + 19 = −61

(8)(2) + (8)(−6v) + 19 = −61 (Distribute)

16 + −48v + 19 = −61

(−48v) + (16 + 19) = −61 (Combine Like Terms)

−48v + 35 = −61

−48v + 35 = −61

[ Subtract 35 from both sides ]

−48v + 35 − 35 = −61 − 35

−48v = −96

[ Divide both sides by -48 ]

−48v / -48 = −96 / -48

v = 2
