Questions: -1-2v=11

Transcript text: $-1-2 v=11$

Solution

Solution Steps

To solve the equation $-1 - 2v = 11$, we need to isolate the variable $v$. We can do this by first adding 1 to both sides of the equation and then dividing by -2.

Step 1: Rearranging the Equation

Starting with the equation: \[ -1 - 2v = 11 \] we add 1 to both sides to isolate the term with $v$: \[ -2v = 12 \]

Step 2: Solving for $v$

Next, we divide both sides by $-2$ to solve for $v$: \[ v = \frac{12}{-2} = -6 \]

Final Answer

Thus, the solution for $v$ is: \[ \boxed{v = -6} \]
