Answer:
g = 12
Step-by-step explanation:
g + 7 - 4 = 15
Combine like terms
g +3 = 15
Subtract 3 from each side to isolate g
g+3-3 = 15-3
g = 12
Think of a vertical number line. The positive values count down as we move down this number line. The negative numbers count up, so to speak, as we move down the number line. So we have -1, -2, -3, ... as we move down. This indicates that -5 is <u>not</u> smaller than -7.

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer:
a) y = 
b) x = 4
Step-by-step explanation:
a) 
3y + 2 = 20y - 5
2 = 20y - 3y - 5
2 = 17y - 5
2 + 5 = 17y
7 = 17y
y = 
b) x² + 5 = 21
x² = 21 - 5
x² = 16
x = √16
x = 4
