Question

Ms. Shaddai writes 3g=51 and (15, 16, 17) on the board. Tell if each value in the set is a solution of the equation.

Answer 1

17 is the answer.

Explanation:

There are two ways to do this problem:

a. plug in each value and multiply it by 3. 3x15 is 45, 3x16 is 48, and 3x17 is 51, which is your answer.

b. divide both sides by three and you would get g=17.
