17=3 (g+3) - g.

I also need the math

Do you need it simplified if you do then:

you multiply 3 into the parentheses 17=3 (g+3) - g

17=3g+9-g

then add like terms 17=3g+9-g meaning g

17=3g+9

Let's solve your equation step-by-step. 17 = 3 (g+3) - g

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation. 17 = 3 (g+3) - g

Simplify: (Show steps) 17 = 2g + 9

Step 2: Flip the equation. 2g + 9 = 17

Step 3: Subtract 9 from both sides. 2g + 9 - 9 = 17-9 2g = 8

Step 4: Divide both sides by 2. 2g 2 = 82 g=4

Answer: g = 4
