15-g = 23-2g

Vocaloid:

combine like terms add 2g to both sides 15 - g + 2g = ?

\(\color{#0cbb34}{\text{Originally Posted by}}\) @Vocaloid combine like terms add 2g to both sides 15 - g + 2g = ? \(\color{#0cbb34}{\text{End of Quote}}\) then what do i do next

Vocaloid:

please solve the question

Vocaloid:

15 - g + 2g = ?

hopesanddreams3453:

15-3g right

Vocaloid:

-g + 2g = ?

hopesanddreams3453:

15-1g=23

Vocaloid:

nope

Vocaloid:

-1 + 2 = ?

hopesanddreams3453:

=1

Vocaloid:

good so 15-g + 2g = 15 + g if 15 + g = 23 then g = ?

Vocaloid:

still there?

hopesanddreams3453:

yeah

Vocaloid:

if 15 + g = 23 then g = ?

Vocaloid:

what number can we add to 15 to get 23?

hopesanddreams3453:

so 15-g= 15+g 15-g =23-15 1g/1= 8/1 g=8 is that correct

Vocaloid:

some of your steps are wrong but the answer is right you're making a bit more complicated than it needs to be

Vocaloid:

15 + g = 23 g = 23 - 15 = 8 two steps

hopesanddreams3453:

ok

hopesanddreams3453:

so there'd two answers in the question

Vocaloid:

no, there's only one

Vocaloid:

we both got g = 8

Vocaloid:

what did you think the other answer was?

hopesanddreams3453:

g=23 g=8

Vocaloid:

15-g=23 therefore, g cannot be 23 otherwise this equation wouldn't work

Vocaloid:

so g = 8 is your only answer
