Question

26=7(g−9)+1226, equals, 7, left parenthesis, g, minus, 9, right parenthesis, plus, 12

Answer 1

26=7(g-9) + 1226

To find g, we expand the brackets first(multiplying every term in the bracket by the term outside it):

26=7g-63+1226

Add the terms on the right hand side:

26=7g+1163

Collect alike terms to left hand side:

26-1163=7g
-1137=7g

Divide equation by 7 to get g on its own:

g= -162.428 (3dp)

Hope this helps!
