Question

\frac{15g + 5}{5} = -5g + 3

3g + 1 = -5g + 3

\underline{+ 5g \quad \quad \quad + 5g}

8g + 1 = 3

g = \square

Explanation:

Step1: Subtract 1 from both sides

We have the equation \(8g + 1 = 3\). Subtract 1 from each side: \(8g + 1 - 1 = 3 - 1\), which simplifies to \(8g = 2\).

Step2: Divide both sides by 8

Now, divide both sides of \(8g = 2\) by 8: \(g=\frac{2}{8}\). Simplify the fraction: \(g = \frac{1}{4}\) or \(g = 0.25\).

Answer:

\(\frac{1}{4}\) (or \(0.25\))
