One step equations

26=8+v

Answer: 18

Step-by-step explanation:

Subtract 8 from each side.

8 - 8 = 0

26 - 8 = 18

26 = 8+v

You need to get V (the variable) by itself so in order to do this you need to remove 8 from the equation. So to do this, subtract 8 from the right side and subtract it from the left as well. Whatever you do to one side you do to the other.

26=8+v

-8 - 8

18=v

You are left with v=18
