Chapter 4.4, Problem 18PPS

To determine

To calculate:To solve the equation and check the solution

Answer to Problem 18PPS

Solution is $g=1.4$

Explanation of Solution

Given information:Equation is $-8.4=-6g$

Calculation:

Given equation is as follows:

  $-8.4=-6g$

On solving the equation,

  $\begin{array}{l}-6g=-8.4\\ g=\frac{-8.4}{-6}\\ g=1.4\end{array}$

Now, in order to check the solution, substitute $g=1.4$ in equation $-8.4=-6g$

  $\begin{array}{l}RHS:-6\left(1.4\right)\\ RHS:-8.4\end{array}$

Since, $LHS=RHS$

Thus, $g=1.4$ is solution of equation $-8.4=-6g$

Hence,solution is $g=1.4$
