Question

Solve the equation 5.4g + 4 = 1.4g +20.

Answer 1

A. g=4
b. first you're going to subtract 1.4g from both sides;
5.4g + 4 - 1.4g = 1.4g + 20 - 1.4g
then simplify it;
4g+4=20
then, you'll subtract 4 from both sides;
4g + 4 - 4 = 20 - 4
then simplify again;
4g=16
lastly, you will divide 4 from both sides;
4g/4 = 16/4
since 16/4=4, then g=4
