Answer 1

The answer is : 23/16

Step by step:
3/16= -5/4 + G
3/16+5/4 = 3/16 + 20/16
G= 23/16

Answer 2

G = 23/16 OR G = 1.4375

Explanation:

3/16 = -5/4 + G

Get the constants on one side. Add 5/4 on both sides.

3/16 + 5/4 = G

To add fractions, find the common denominator. The smallest denominator between these two fractions is 16.

3/16 stays the same since it already has the denominator of 16. To turn the denominator (4) in 5/4 into 16, multiply it by 4. Whatever you do to the denominator, you must do to the numerator.

5 x 4 = 20

The second fraction is now 20/16

3/16 + 20/16 = 23/16

G = 23/16
