Chapter 0.5, Problem 28E

To determine

To solve the equation $9-4g=-15$

Answer to Problem 28E

  $g=6$

Explanation of Solution

Given Information: $9-4g=-15$

Formula Used : Linear equations with one variable

Calculation:

Given equation is

  $9-4g=-15$

To isolate the variable g, subtract 9 from both sides-

  $9-9-4g=-15-9$

This gives-

  $-4g=-24$

To isolate the variable g, divide by -4 both side-

  $\frac{-4}{-4}g=\frac{-24}{-4}$

This gives-

  $g=\frac{24}{4}$

To simplify further, writing 24 as its factors-

  $g=\frac{3\times 2\times 4}{4}$

Hence the final answer is-

  $g=6$
