Answer 1

Answer:

$7\frac{7}{25}$

Step-by-step explanation:

hey there,

< 25(g-7) = 3

Since we have parentheses, let's get rid of them by multiplying.

25(g) -  (25)(7) = 3

(I just expanded the parentheses. If you don't understand how I did this, then feel free to ask me!!)

Continue simplifying:

25g - 175 = 3

Leave the variable on one side and the numbers on the other side:

25g = 3 + 175

25g = 178

g = $\frac{178}{25}$

This is an improper fraction and it cannot be simplified any further since 25 can only be divided by 5 or 25 and 178 can't be divided by 5 or 25.

Since your question is asking for a mixed fraction, let's make it into one. I hope you already know how to do this but as I said, if you don't, then please ask me!

g = $\frac{178}{25} = 7\frac{7}{25}$

$7\frac{7}{25}$ is your final answer. >

Hope this helped! Feel free to ask anything else.
