Question

Solve the equation. Check your answer.
32.61equals7gplus3.84

Answer 1

To solve the equation \( 32.61 = 7g + 3.84 \), we can follow these steps:

1. **Subtract 3.84 from both sides**:
\[
32.61 - 3.84 = 7g
\]
\[
28.77 = 7g
\]

2. **Divide both sides by 7**:
\[
g = \frac{28.77}{7}
\]
\[
g = 4.11
\]

Now that we have \( g = 4.11 \), let's check the solution by substituting \( g \) back into the original equation.

**Check**:
\[
7g + 3.84 = 32.61
\]
Substituting \( g = 4.11 \):
\[
7(4.11) + 3.84 = 28.77 + 3.84 = 32.61
\]

Since both sides are equal, the solution is verified.

Thus, the final answer is:
\[
g = 4.11
\]
