Answer:

$\large\boxed{x=\dfrac{1-g}{2}}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$g=-2x+1\\\\\Downarrow\\\\-2x+1=g\qquad\text{subtract 1 from both sides}\\\\-2x+1-1=g-1\\\\-2x=g-1\qquad\text{divide both sides by (-2)}\\\\\dfrac{-2x}{-2}=\dfrac{g-1}{-2}\\\\x=\dfrac{-(1-g)}{-2}\\\\x=\dfrac{1-g}{2}$

Answer:

-(g-1)/2=x

Step-by-step explanation:

g=-2x+1

subtract one from both sides

g-1=-2x

divide both sides by -2

(g-1)/-2=x

When number can each term of the equation be multiplied by to eliminate the fractions before solving 6-3/4x+1/3=1/2x+5

PolarNik [594]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

You need to find the least common denominator (LCD) to all the denominators of the fractions present in the equation. These denominators are (writing them in their prime factor form to make our calculations easier):

$4=2^2\\3=3\\2=2$

Therefore, we need to include a factor of 3, and two factors of 2 ( $2^2$ ) in our least common denominator, so this LCD will be a perfectly divided by all three given denominators, therefore eliminating all fractions in the equation.
