Question

Solve for the given variable -2/5g= 14/5

A.g=12/5
B.g=-7
C.g=-28/25
D.g=16/5

Answer 1

Answer : B. g = - 7

Solving Steps :


`( - 2)/(5) g = (14)/(5)`
Use the Rules of Signs for Multiplication. Multiplying a negative and a positive equals a negative (-) × (+) = (-)


`= > - (2)/(5) g = (14)/(5)`
Multiply both the sides of the equation by 5/2.


`= > - (5)/(2 ) * (2)/(5) g = (5)/(2) * (14)/(5)`
Reduce the numbers with 5
Reduce the numbers with 2
Reduce the numbers with 5
Reduce the numbers with 2


`= > - g = 7`
Change the signs on both sides of the equation.


`= > g = - 7`
