Question

3g-2x=-2135
x=2g+60
Solve for g

Answer 1

x = -3970, g = 2015

Explanation:

Solve this system of linear equations by substitution: substitute 2g + 60 for x in the first equation.

Then we have:

3g - 2(2g + 60) = -2135

Performing the indicated multiplication, we get:

3g - 4g - 120 = -2135, or

-g = -2015

Then g = 2015. Then x = 2(-2015) + 60, or x = -3970

The solution is x = -3970, g = 2015
