Solve for v. –(v − 8) = 3 v = _____

Distribute negative sign: Distribute the negative sign through the parentheses. –(v − 8) = 3 becomes -v + 8 = 3. Isolate variable: Isolate the variable v by subtracting 8 from both sides. -v + 8 - 8 = 3 - 8 -v = -5 Solve for v: Solve for v by multiplying both sides by -1. -v * -1 = -5 * -1 v = 5

\newline

\text{–}(v − 8) = 3

\newline

v =

\_\_\_\_\_

Distribute negative sign: Distribute the negative sign through the parentheses. $\newline$ $- (v - 8) = 3$ becomes $-v + 8 = 3$ .
Isolate variable: Isolate the variable $v$ by subtracting $8$ from both sides. $\newline$ $-v + 8 - 8 = 3 - 8$ $\newline$ $-v = -5$
Solve for v: Solve for v by multiplying both sides by $-1$ . $\newline$ $-v \times -1 = -5 \times -1$ $\newline$ $v = 5$
