So these are basically isolating the variables.
The first equation is 3g + 5 =17.
In order to isolate the variable, we would have to get g by itself, that means 5 would have to go. In order to do this, we would do the opposite. Since it is positive 5 we would add negative 5, in order for it to disappear. This works because a positive 5 and negative 5 cancel each other out. Whatever you do to one side of the equation you have to do to the other, since we subtract 5 on one side we have to subtract 5 on the other. Therefore we would do 17-5.
Now we have 3g=12
We know that 3g is basically 3 multiplied by g. The opposite of multiplication is division.Therefore we would divide by 3 on both sides.
The answer to the first question would be g= 4.
And if you want to check if your answer is correct you plug the value in.
So
3(4) + 5 =17

Write an expression for the calculation the difference of the products of 5 and 2 and 5 and 1
oee [108]
Let's review the terminology.  A product is what you get when you multiply two numbers.  So, the product of 5 and 2 is basically "5*2," and the product of 5 and 1 is "5*1."

The difference means when you subtract one from the other.  So, the difference of 5*2 and 5*1 means "(5*2)-(5*1)".  (Note: I put in parentheses to make sure the reader understands that 5*2 is separate from 5*1.  5*2-5*1 is confusing: you might not know what to do first!)

So, "(5*2)-(5*1)" can be your answer, OR you can simplify it further by actually doing the multiplication: "10-5".  If you want the answer, just subtract--the expression is equal to 5.

Answer: "<span>(5*2)-(5*1)" OR "10-5" OR "5"</span>
