Question

what is 5g+4(-53G)=1-g help

Answer 1

first thing to do is distribute the 4 through the parenthesis.
can you do that ?

Answer 2

yes

Answer 3

do that and tell me what you get

Answer 4

wait wait i type the question wrong
it is 5g+4(-5+3g)=1-9

Answer 5

=1-g

Answer 6

so

Answer 7

ok...you still need to distribute the 4 through the parenthesis.

Answer 8

-3=g

Answer 9

5g + 4(-5 + 3g) = 1 - g
5g - 20 + 12g = 1 - g

have I lost you yet ? Do you understand so far ?

Answer 10

i understand you times 4 to both number

Answer 11

yes...now we will combine like terms
5g - 20 + 12g = 1 - g
17g - 20 = 1 - g

Understand so far ?

Answer 12

yeah

Answer 13

now we want the g terms on one side and everything else on the other side.
17g - 20 = 1 - g (add g to both sides)
17g - 20 + g = 1 - g + g (combine like terms)
18g - 20 = 1 (now we will add 20 to both sides)
18g - 20 + 20 = 1 + 20 (combine like terms)
18g = 21 (now divide by 18)
g = 18/21

Answer 14

that is what i got but do we need to divide like .. i got 1.166reapting

Answer 15

18/21 = 0.857. Are you sure you have to divide ? Just wondering, because usually in these types of problems the fraction is enough.

Answer 16

oh thx i will give you a medal

Answer 17
