Question

Use the distributive property and combining like terms to solve the following equation for gg.



3g+2(g-1)+7=153g+2(g−1)+7=15


g=?g=?
Answer value

Answer 1

$3g + 2(g - 1) + 7 = 15$

$3g + 2g - 2 + 7 = 15$

$(3g + 2g) + ( - 2 + 7 )= 15$

$5g + 5 = 15$

$5g = 15 - 5$

$5g = 10$

$g = \frac{10}{5}$

$g = 2$
