Question 386884: I need help to learn how to set up equations so that I can solve it; Because I am having problems with lining it up wrong and getting the wrong answer. But this is the problem: 5g+h=2
-g-h=2
{p.s.)-Can you not give me the answer, can you just help we set it up, and like maybe you make up a problem that is the same set up and show me the steps how to do the problem!

-g-h=2
-h=2+g
h=-2-g
----------------
5g+h=2
5g+-2-g=2
5g-2-g=2
4g=4
g=1
----------------
5*1+h=2
h=-3
---------------
-1+3=2
