The equation after the first step is (d) [tex]2v + 4 = 8[/tex]
The equation is given as:
[tex]\frac 53v + 4 + \frac 13v = 8[/tex]
The first step to solve the equation is to collect like terms.
So, we have:
[tex]\frac 53v + \frac 13v+ 4 = 8[/tex]
Take LCM
[tex]\frac {5 + 1}3v + 4 = 8[/tex]
Add 5 and 1
[tex]\frac {6}3v + 4 = 8[/tex]
Divide 6 by 3
[tex]2v + 4 = 8[/tex]
Hence, the equation after the first step is (d) [tex]2v + 4 = 8[/tex]
