Question

can anybody please explain to me the steps to solve this?
5g + 4 ( -5 +3g ) = 1 - g

Answer 1

5g +4(-5) +4(3g) = 1 -g

Answer 2

First, solve 4 ( -5 +3g) getting
-20 +12g
5g -20 + 12g = 1 - g
17g - 20 = 1 -g
16g - 20 = 1
16g = 21
g = 21/16

Answer 3

that is not the answer.

Answer 4

wait, it's 21/18

Answer 5

since you're adding g on both sides, not subtracting

Answer 6

Yes!

Answer 7

5g + 4 ( -5 +3g ) = 1 - g ; divide by 4

5g/4 -5 +3g = 1/4 - g/4 ; add like terms

17g/4 -5 = 1/4 - g/4 ; swap sides
+g/4 +5
----------------
18g/4 = 21/4 ; and multiply by 4/18

g = 21/18

Answer 8

And,
21/18 =7/6

Answer 9

nah, it equals 42/36 lol
