Isolate variable term: Isolate the variable term in the first equation.To isolate the variable term (g)/(−4), we need to add 5 to both sides of the equation.3+5=(g)/(−4)−5+5
Simplify equation: Simplify the equation.Adding 5 to both sides gives us:3+5=−4g8=−4g
Multiply by −4: Multiply both sides by −4 to solve for g. To get g by itself, we multiply both sides by −4. −4×8=−4×(g)/(−4)
Find value of g: Simplify the equation to find the value of g.−4×8=g−32=g
