The expression we have is:


2g-4f=6f

Step 1. To solve for g, we need to have the term that contains "g" alone on one side of the equation. For that reason the first step will be to add 4f to both sides of the equation:


2g-4f+4f=6f+4f

And as we can see, on the left side we get -4f+4f which cancel each other:


2g=6f+4f

Step 2. Combine the like terms on the right side of the equation.

We can combine 6f+4f because the two terms have the same variable, and the result is 10f:


2g=10f

Step 3. The last step to solve for g is to divide both sides of the equation by 2:


(2g)/(2)=(10f)/(2)

On the left side we get g:


g=(10f)/(2)

and on the right side, 10f/2 is equal to 5f:


g=5f

Answer:


g=5f
