Math Problem 6th grade

Question

Four times the sum of g+6 is equal to thirty-six. What is the value of g?

Answer 1

* 4(g+6)=36 is how we would write our problem out

*In order to find g, we need to divide 36 by 4. The answer to this is 9, but 9 isn't g, we have to remember that we still have to minus the 6 inside the parentheses (because we are doing the opposite in order to find g).

*If we minus 6 from 9, we get 3. If you put 3 in as g, then 3+6=9 and 9 times 4 equals 36, so 3 is our answer.

g=3

Answer 2

4(g + 6) = 36

g + 6 = 9

g = 3
