To solve the equation, we first need to find a common denominator on both sides.
(g + 4)/(g - 2) = (g - 5)/(g - 8)
Now, cross multiply:
(g + 4)(g - 8) = (g - 2)(g - 5)
g^2 - 4g - 32 = g^2 - 7g + 10
Re-arranging terms:
3g = 42
g = 14
Therefore, the solution is g = 14.
Checking the solution:
(14 + 4)/(14 - 2) = (14 - 5)/(14 - 8)
18/12 = 9/6
1.5 = 1.5
The solution checks out.
Therefore, the answer is D. 14
