Question

3/16=(-5/4)+g please help me

Answer 1

Answer:

g=$\frac{23}{16}$

Step-by-step explanation:

To begin you want to isolate the g. So you add $\frac{5}{4}$ to both sides. On the left is cancels out so it looks like this:

$\frac{3}{16} +\frac{5}{4} =g$

Next, you find the Least Common Denominator (LCD) which is 16. And since one fraction already has a denominator of 16 you leave it as it is. The other fraction, however, needs to be multiplied (both top and bottom) by 4 to get the denominator (bottom) to 16. So:

$\frac{3}{16} +(\frac{5}{4}*\frac{4}{4} ) =g$

Multiplying it out you get:

$\frac{3}{16} +\frac{20}{16} =g$

Lastly, just add across:

$\frac{3+20}{16} =\frac{23}{16}$

You're done!

$g=\frac{23}{16}$
