17g+6=20g+3 Solve for the variable g.

1g is the answer

minus 6 and 3=3

minus 17 and 20

3g=g

1=g

You need to isolate the variable g onto one side. Since we're going backwards, we need to do the opposite of the order of operations. Step one is to subtract 20g from both sides. 17g-20g is - 3g. - 3g+6=3. Now, subtract 6. 3-6=-3.

-3g=-3. Finally, divide both sides by - 3. - 3/-3 is 1, so G is 1.
