Question

How to work this problem

Answer 1

-3 5/8 = v -5/6
 
(multiply -3 to the numerator 5)

-15/8 = v -5/6
 
(transpose both the denominators ton their opposite sides)

-15(6) = v -5(8)
-90 = v-40
 
(add the 40 on both sides to eliminate the -40 beside the variable v)

-90  = v -40
+40 =   +40
__________
-50 = v

The answer is -50
