Final answer:

To express g in terms of e, we need to solve the equation 2g−e=3g(g−e) and rearrange it. By factoring and dividing, we can simplify the expression for g in terms of e.

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve the equation 2g−e=3g(g−e) and express g in terms of e, we will distribute 3g to g and -e. This gives us 2g - e = 3g² - 3ge. Next, we will move all terms to one side of the equation to get 3g² - 2g - 3ge + e = 0. Factoring out g gives us g(3g - 2 - 3e) + e(1 - 3g) = 0. Finally, dividing both sides of the equation by (3g - 2 - 3e) gives us the simplified expression for g in terms of e: g = -e/(3g - 2 - 3e).

The solutions for g in terms of e are g= 2/3 or g=e.

Let's solve the equation step by step to express g in terms of e:

2g−e=3g(g−e)

First, distribute 3g across the parentheses on the right-hand side:

2g−e=3g2 −3ge

Rearrange this equation to set it equal to zero:

3g2 −3ge−2g+e=0

Now, let's factor out the g terms:

g(3g−2)−e(3g−2)=0

Now we have a common factor of (3g−2):

(3g−2)(g−e)=0

For this equation to hold true, either

(3g−2)=0 or (g−e)=0:

If 3g−2=0, then 3g=2, and solving for g gives g= 2/3

If g−e=0, then g=e.

So, the solutions for g in terms of e are g= 2/3 or g=e.
