Solve the inequality for v. -12>-5+v .Simplify your answer as much as possible.

Answer 1

Let's start with your equation: -12 > -5 + v

Unless you are dividing, you can treat the equation just like -12 = -5 + v

Step 1: isolate v by adding 5 to both sides

-12 > -5 + v

+5 +5

Step 2: simply

-7 > v

Step 3: flip for clarity (be sure to change the inequality sign!) to get your answer

v < -7
