can anyone answer this math question?

Question

i need the answer to g-36/2 = 5

Answer 1

Hello, thank you for taking the time to post your question!

(g – 36)/2 = 5 is the original expression, which means that you want to multiply both sides by 2 and then add 36 in order to get the “g” term by itself

(g-36)/2 = 5

(g-36) = 10

g = 46

I hope that helps get you moving in the right direction! Feel free to reach out if you have any additional questions beyond that :)

Answer 2

Hey Ann,

 

To solve for g, go backwards.

 

Before you reached a "equal sign," it got divided by 2.  Therefore, you multiply by 2 (which it gives you g-36 = 10).

 

From g - 36 = 10, you add 36 both sides of equal sign to make g= number.  In this case, g = 10+36 which will be g = 46.
