can you isolate 2g on one side of the equation?

australopithecus · Answer

To accomplish this you are simply using the rule.

What one side you do to the equation you must do to the other side of the equation to maintain the equality.

So for instance if we had the equation

x = x

we can add or subtract multiply and divide both sides of the equation by anything and the equality will remain.


For instance.

Addition
x + 1 = x + 1

Subtraction
x - 1 = x -1

Multiplication
2*x = 2*x

Division
x/2 = x/2


An example of this rule applied

2 + x = y

we want to solve for x so we subtract 2 from both sides

2 + x - 2 = y - 2
2 - 2 + x = y - 2
0 + x = y -2
x = y - 2
