Can someone check my answer?
5.5g+3=7+3g
A.2**(my answer)
B.-2
C.5
D.-5
5.5g+3=7+3g
2.5g = 4
g = 4/2.5
g = 1.6
The answer isn't given.
Okay, thank you for explaining that. If you don't mind I confused on a couple other questions. Can you explain to me how to solve them?
you are correct g=2
Please check your original problem. I suspect that it's
5g+3=7+3g
Is that what it's supposed to be?
yes
the answer is 2
Ms. Sue, I'm sorry. I thought I pressed enter.
LOL, I suspect it was question number 5 :)
To check if your answer is correct, we can simply substitute the value you found back into the equation and see if it satisfies the equation.
Let's substitute 2 into the equation:
5.5g + 3 = 7 + 3g
Replacing g with 2, we have:
5.5(2) + 3 = 7 + 3(2)
11 + 3 = 7 + 6
14 = 13
Since 14 is not equal to 13, this means that the value g=2 does not satisfy the equation.
Therefore, your answer of 2 (option A) is incorrect.
To find the correct answer, let's solve the equation:
5.5g + 3 = 7 + 3g
First, let's simplify by moving all the terms with g to one side of the equation:
5.5g - 3g = 7 - 3
2.5g = 4
Next, divide both sides of the equation by 2.5 to isolate g:
g = 4 / 2.5
g = 1.6
Therefore, the correct answer is not among the options provided. The correct answer is g = 1.6.
