Solve the equation 5.4g + 4 = 1.4g +20. a. Find the value of g.
b. Explain how you can check that the value you found for g is correct. If your check does not work,
does that mean that your result is incorrect? Explain.
a. g=1

A. g=4
b. first you're going to subtract 1.4g from both sides;
5.4g + 4 - 1.4g = 1.4g + 20 - 1.4g
then simplify it;
4g+4=20
then, you'll subtract 4 from both sides;
4g + 4 - 4 = 20 - 4
then simplify again;
4g=16
lastly, you will divide 4 from both sides;
4g/4 = 16/4
since 16/4=4, then g=4
