Answer:

g = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: Expression
(4g)/(14)-(3)/(7)- (g)/(14)=(3)/(14)

We have to solve for g .

Consider the given expression
(4g)/(14)-(3)/(7)- (g)/(14)=(3)/(14)

Cancel common factor 2,


(4g)/(14)=(2g)/(7)

Expression becomes,


(2g)/(7)-(3)/(7)-(g)/(14)=(3)/(14)

Multiply both side by LCM = 14


(2g)/(7)\cdot \:14-(3)/(7)\cdot \:14-(g)/(14)\cdot \:14=(3)/(14)\cdot \:14

Simplify, we have,


4g-6-g=3

Adding g both side , we have,


3g-6=3

Adding 6 both side, we have,


3g=9

Divide both sde by 3, we have,

g = 3

Thus, g = 3

Answer:
g = 3

Step-by-step explanation:
To solve for g, we will need to isolate the g on one side of the equation.
This can be done as follows:

(4g)/(14) - (3)/(7) - (g)/(14) = (3)/(14)

1- multiply all terms by 14 to get rid of the fraction:
4g - 6 - g = 3

2- Combine like terms:
4g - g = 3 + 6
3g = 9

3- Isolate the g:

(3g)/(3) = (9)/(3)

g = 3

Hope this helps :)
