Answer: v = -13
Step-by-step explanation:
Multiply both sides of the equation by (v+12). On the right side, the (v+12) terms will cancel leaving only (v+4). On the left, we will have 9(v+12). Therefore:
[tex]9(v+12)=v+4[/tex]
Distribute the 9 into the parenthesis to get:
[tex]9v+108=v+4[/tex]
Subtract 'v' on both sides to get:
[tex]8v+108=4[/tex]
Subtract 108 from both sides to get:
[tex]8v=-104[/tex]
Divide both sides by 8 to get:
[tex]v=-13[/tex]
