Question

What is g? 75 = g - 9 + 5g

Answer 1

g = 14

Explanation:

First, combine all like terms:

75 = g - 9 + 5g

75 = -9 + 6g

Now you start doing the math to find g.

Add 9 to both sides (since you have to keep it even). we do this so that we can cancel out the -9 on the right side:

75 = -9 + 6g

84 = 6g

Now we divide both sides by 6 so that we can isolate g:

84 = 6g

14 = g

There's your answer!

g = 14

Answer 2

75 = g - 9 + 5g

75=g+5g-9 ( combine like terms)

75=6g-9

move -9 to the other side

sign changes from -9 to +9

75+9=6g-9+9

75+9=6g

84=6g

divide both sides by 6 to get g by itself

84/6=6g/6

cross out 6 and 6, divide by 6 and then becomes 1*1*g=g

g=84/6

answer;

g=14
