g/17-8 = -6

OpenStudy (anonymous):

g= -54

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Are you sure it's not 34?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

its not becoz the denominator is 9 and 9*(-6)=-54

OpenStudy (anonymous):

fan me if u like the answer. thanx

OpenStudy (anonymous):

This is algebra. Not multiplication.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

but the only variable is g ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Was the original equation: a)\(\frac{g}{17-8} = -6\) b)\(\frac{g}{17} - 8 = -6\)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ahhh sry

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@polpak (B)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Then yes, it's 34

OpenStudy (anonymous):

is it 30? tha answer ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ok. Thanks polpak. That is the right answer. I checked with someone else too.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

No, you have to find the varible for g. so you have to divide.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

You don't divide. You multiply. \[\frac{g}{17} - 8 = -6\] \[\frac{g}{17} = 2\] \[g = 2(17)\] \[g = 34\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Sorry, yes you do multiply, because g/17 is a quotient (sorry mistake)
