Look at the image. I need 20 characters lol
First simplify like terms (things with the same letter):
3g + 7g + 8 = -10 + g
10g + 8 = -10 + g
Next we should take g off both sides:
9g + 8 = -10
Next isolate 9g by taking 8 off both sides:
9g = -18
Next divide both sides by 9 to find the value of g:
g = -2
Because 3 2/4 would be the answer when you subtract it and most teachers and/or tests want you to simplify the answer which would be 1/2 because you would divide the numerator and denominator by 2.
Numerator is 57.
denominator is 78
therefore, the fraction is numerator/denominator (to the nearest tenth) = 73.1%
