Answer:
Just solve the equation for g. You do this by moving all the g terms to one said and then getting the g term alone on that side.
a. 4.3g + 8 = 2.3g + 16
4.3g - 2.3g + 8 = 2.3g - 2.3g + 16 (Subtract 2.3g from both sides)
2g + 8 - 8 = 16 - 8 (Subtract 8 from both sides)
2g / 2 = 8 / 2 (Divide 2 from both sides)
g = 4
b. In order to check if your value is correct, simply substitute it in for g in the original equation
4.3(4) + 8 = 2.3(4) + 16
17.2 + 8 = 9.2 + 16
25.2 = 25.2
Since both sides are equal then our solution is correct. If the check didn't work, then we did our calculations wrong and need to redo it.
