Question

g-12=-6

Answer 1

What is the question? Find g?

Answer 2

Yea

Answer 3

Add 12 to both sides: g=-6+12

Answer 4

okay?

Answer 5

What more is left? To solve for a variable, you need to bring all constants to one side and then calculate.

Answer 6

left side is more

Answer 7

than what?

Answer 8

The way I would solve this question that is simplest, is to take the number beside the variable (g) and move it to the other side. Remember that whenever you move something to another side of the equation, (so across the = sign) it becomes the opposite. So a -12 would become +12. Therefore, g=-6+12. This can also be represented as g=12-6.

Answer 9

so g=12-6. is the answer?

Answer 10

Yes, that's the answer!

Answer 11

I'm sure your teacher will also accept g=-6+12 though. They mean the exact same thing.

Answer 12

if you can do 12-6 that is...

Answer 13

I don't think she can and understands. She posted the same question again and when someone said g=6, she asked how the person got that answer.

Answer 14

^agreed

Answer 15

Oh okay, I see. Countrygirl, g=12-6 has one more step to it. You actually need to subtract the 6, so that your final answer is 6. My bad, I thought you only needed help figuring out how to rearrange the equation.

Answer 16

and leave me alone k
