Question

Use the distributive property and combining like terms to solve the following equation for gg.

3g+2(g-1)+7=153g+2(g−1)+7=15


g=?g=?
Answer value

Answer 1

`3g + 2(g - 1) + 7 = 15`

`3g + 2g - 2 + 7 = 15`

`(3g + 2g) + ( - 2 + 7 )= 15`

`5g + 5 = 15`

`5g = 15 - 5`

`5g = 10`

`g = (10)/(5)`

`g = 2`
