What number do you divide each side of the equation by to solve for g? 3g = 36

1. 3

2. 6

3. 9

4. 12

The first option.

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to effectively simplify, you need to divide the side with the variable by a number that is less than or equal to the number. 3 goes into 36 twelve times.

3g = 36.

3g/3 = g

36/3 = 12

g = 12 when divided by 3.
