What is the value of G in the equation G/5-13=42?

g=11
Johnny is wrong.
(G/5) - 13 = 42
Add 13 to both sides of the equation.
G/5 = 55
Multiply by 5
G = 275
Check:
(275/5) - 13 = 42
(G/5) - 13 = 42
Add 13 to both sides of the equation.
G/5 = 55
Multiply by 5
G = 275
Check:
(275/5) - 13 = 42
If you read the problem differently --
G / (5-13) = 42
G/-8 = 42
G = -336
G / (5-13) = 42
G/-8 = 42
G = -336
