Question

2/3g + 1/2g = 14

what is g?

Answer 1

2/3 g + 1/2 g = 14

4/6 g + 3/6 g = 14

7/6 g = 14

7g = 84

g = 12

Answer 2

2/3g + 1/2g = 14

Add 2/3 and 1/2. Multiply 2/3 by 2/2 and 1/2 by 3/3 to make both fractions have common denominators.

1. 2/3 * 2/2 = 4/6
2. 1/2 * 3/3 = 3/6

4/6g + 3/6g = 14

• Combine like terms.

7/6g = 14

• Divide both sides by 7/6.

g = 14 ÷ 7/6

• g = 14 × 6/7 = 84/7 = 12

g = 12
