Question

3/16=(-5/4)+g please help me

Answer 1

g=
`(23)/(16)`

Explanation:

To begin you want to isolate the g. So you add
`(5)/(4)` to both sides. On the left is cancels out so it looks like this:

`(3)/(16) +(5)/(4) =g`

Next, you find the Least Common Denominator (LCD) which is 16. And since one fraction already has a denominator of 16 you leave it as it is. The other fraction, however, needs to be multiplied (both top and bottom) by 4 to get the denominator (bottom) to 16. So:

`(3)/(16) +((5)/(4)*(4)/(4) ) =g`

Multiplying it out you get:

`(3)/(16) +(20)/(16) =g`

Lastly, just add across:

`(3+20)/(16) =(23)/(16)`

You're done!

`g=(23)/(16)`
