Chapter 1.2, Problem 4E

To determine

To calculate: To solve the equation and check your solution

Answer to Problem 4E

Solution of equation is $g=13$

Explanation of Solution

Given: Equation is $2g-13=3$

Calculation:

Equation is given as follows:

  $2g-13=3$

On solving the above equation:

  $\begin{array}{l}2g-13=3\\ 2g=3+13\\ g=\frac{26}{2}\\ g=13\end{array}$

Checking the Solution:

Substitute $g=13$ in the left side of equation $2g-13=3$

  $\begin{array}{l}\Rightarrow 2\left(13\right)-13\\ \Rightarrow 26-13\\ \Rightarrow 13\end{array}$

Left hand side of equation is equal to right hand side of equation.

Thus, $g=13$ is solution of equation.

Conclusion:

Hence, solution of equation is $g=13$
