Question

$$- 4 ( v + 3 ) = - 12 - 4 v$$

Solve for v (complex solution)

$v\in \mathrm{C}$

Solution Steps

Use the distributive property to multiply $-4$ by $v+3$.

$$-4v-12=-12-4v$$

Add $4v$ to both sides.

$$-4v-12+4v=-12$$

Combine $-4v$ and $4v$ to get $0$.

$$-12=-12$$

Compare $-12$ and $-12$.

$$\text{true}$$

This is true for any $v$.

$$v\in \mathrm{C}$$

Solve for v

$v\in \mathrm{R}$

Solution Steps

Use the distributive property to multiply $-4$ by $v+3$.

$$-4v-12=-12-4v$$

Add $4v$ to both sides.

$$-4v-12+4v=-12$$

Combine $-4v$ and $4v$ to get $0$.

$$-12=-12$$

Compare $-12$ and $-12$.

$$\text{true}$$

This is true for any $v$.

$$v\in \mathrm{R}$$
