Question

-5g-(8-g)=12
What is g?

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Simplifying

-5 + -1(8 + -1g) = 12

-5 + (8 * -1 + -1g * -1) = 12

-5 + (-8 + 1g) = 12

Combine like terms: -5 + -8 = -13

-13 + 1g = 12

Solving

-13 + 1g = 12

Solving for variable 'g'.

Move all terms containing g to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '13' to each side of the equation.

-13 + 13 + 1g = 12 + 13

Combine like terms: -13 + 13 = 0

0 + 1g = 12 + 13

1g = 12 + 13

Combine like terms: 12 + 13 = 25

1g = 25

Divide each side by '1'.

g = 25

Simplifying

g = 25
