Question

How do you solve `3g - 8 = g`?

Answer 1

`g = 4`

Explanation:

`3g - 8 = g`

First, you need to get rid of 3g. You can't get of `g` by itself on the right side because the equation won't be balanced. So, subtract `3g` from both sides:

`-8 = -2g`

Now, divide by `-2` to isolate for `g`:

`-8/-2 = g`

`g = 4` because two negatives make a positive.

Answer 2

`g =4`

Explanation:

As per the question, we have

`3g - 8 = g`

`:. 3g - g - 8 + 8 = g - g + 8` ... [Subtracting `g` and Adding `8` in both sides]

`:. 2g = 8`

`:. g = 8/2`

`:. g = 4`

Hence, the answer.
