Question

Find the value of g when 5g + 12 equals 2g + 18.

Answer 1

g = 2

Explanation:

Given

5g + 12 = 2g + 18 ( subtract 2g from both sides )

3g + 12 = 18 ( subtract 12 from both sides )

3g = 6 ( divide both sides by 3 )

g = 2

Answer 2

Explanation:

5g + 12 = 2g + 18

3g + 12 = 18

3g = 6

g = 2
