Question

Solve the equation. Check your solution.

$\frac{v}{5}-6=3$

Answer 1

Step 1 : Solve the equation

We have,

$$\begin{gathered} \Rightarrow \frac{v}{5}-6=3 \\ \Rightarrow \frac{v}{5}=3+6 \\ \Rightarrow \frac{v}{5}=9 \\ \Rightarrow v=9\times 5 \\ \therefore v=45 \end{gathered}$$

Step 2 : Check the solution

Put the value of $v$ in the given equation

$$\begin{gathered} \Rightarrow \frac{45}{5}-6=3 \\ \Rightarrow 9-6=3 \\ \Rightarrow 3=3 \\ \therefore LHS=RHS \end{gathered}$$

Hence, the value of $v$ is $45$.
