Identify Operation: Identify the operation needed to isolate v. The equation is 2v < 8. To isolate v, we need to perform the opposite operation of what is currently being applied to v. Since v is being multiplied by 2, we need to divide by 2 to isolate v.
Divide by 2: Divide both sides of the inequality by 2 to solve for v.2v < 8 \frac{2v}{2} < \frac{8}{2} v < 4
