2 (g - 7) = 12

What is g?

1 answer

To solve the equation \( 2(g - 7) = 12 \), follow these steps:

  1. Divide both sides by 2 to isolate the term with \( g \): \[ g - 7 = \frac{12}{2} \] This simplifies to: \[ g - 7 = 6 \]

  2. Next, add 7 to both sides to solve for \( g \): \[ g = 6 + 7 \] This simplifies to: \[ g = 13 \]

Thus, the value of \( g \) is \( 13 \).
