To solve the equation \( 2(g - 7) = 12 \), follow these steps:
-
Divide both sides by 2 to isolate the term with \( g \): \[ g - 7 = \frac{12}{2} \] This simplifies to: \[ g - 7 = 6 \]
-
Next, add 7 to both sides to solve for \( g \): \[ g = 6 + 7 \] This simplifies to: \[ g = 13 \]
Thus, the value of \( g \) is \( 13 \).
