Question

Solve each equation.

$(3·6÷2)v+10=3^{2}v+9$

Short answer

There is no solution to this equation.

Step-by-step solution

Step 1. Definition.

Equation: An equation is a mathematical statement that two expressions are equal. An equation will always contain an equal sign with an expression on each side.

Step 2. Order of Operations.

BODMAS

B – Brackets First

O – Orders (i.e. Powers and Square Roots etc.)

D – Division

M – Multiplication

A – Addition

S – Subtraction

Step 3. Apply BODMAS Rule.

$(3·6÷2)v+10=3^{2}v+9$Original equation

Evaluate powers.

$\Rightarrow (3·6÷2)v+10=9v+9$

Divide 2 by 6 on the left side of the equation.

$\Rightarrow (3·3)v+10=9v+9$

Multiply 3 by 3 on the left side of the equation.

$\Rightarrow 9v+10=9v+9....\text{False}$

No matter what value is substituted for v, the left side of the equation will always be one less than the right side. So, the equation will never be true.

Therefore, there is no solution to this equation.
