Solve 1/v-16=1/1

$$\frac { 1 } { v } - 16 = \frac { 1 } { 1 }$$

Solve for v

$$v=\frac{1}{17}\approx 0.058823529$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Variable v cannot be equal to 0 since division by zero is not defined. Multiply both sides of the equation by v.

$$1+v\left(-16\right)=v$$

Subtract v from both sides.

$$1+v\left(-16\right)-v=0$$

Combine v\left(-16\right) and -v to get -17v.

$$1-17v=0$$

Subtract 1 from both sides. Anything subtracted from zero gives its negation.

$$-17v=-1$$

Divide both sides by -17.

$$v=\frac{-1}{-17}$$

Fraction \frac{-1}{-17} can be simplified to \frac{1}{17} by removing the negative sign from both the numerator and the denominator.

$$v=\frac{1}{17}$$
