Answer:
A. g=11
Step-by-step explanation:
We want to find which choice makes the equation true. Let's plug in each answer choice.
A. g=11
26=7(11-9)+12
26= 7(2)+12 Solve inside the parentheses.
26= 14+12 Multiply 7 and 2.
26= 26 Add 14 and 12.
This answer must be correct, but let's check the other choices .
B. g=12
26=7(12-9)+12
26= 7(3)+12 Solve inside the parentheses.
26= 21+12 Multiply 7 and 3.
26≠33 Add 14 and 12.
This choice is not correct.
C. g= 13
26=7(13-9)+12
26= 7(4)+12 Solve inside the parentheses.
26= 28+12 Multiply 7 and 4.
26≠40 Add 28 and 12.
This is also not correct.
D. g= 14
26=7(14-9)+12
26= 7(5)+12 Solve inside the parentheses.
26= 35+12 Multiply 7 and 5.
26≠47 Add 35 and 12.
This choice is not correct either.
The value of g that make the expression 26=7(g-9)+12 a true statement is A. g=11.
