You can put this solution on YOUR website!
You can add or subtract the same value from both sides of an equation without changing the solutions so you can subtract 8g from both sides giving:\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "2g+14+5g-8g=8g-3+8-8g =
\n" ); document.write( "2g+14+5g-8g=8g-8g-3+8 =
\n" ); document.write( "2g+14+5g-8g=-3+8=5\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "This essentially removes the variable from the right side of the equation.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Subtracting 14 from both sides results in:\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "2g+14+5g-8g-14 = 5-14\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Simplify to:\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "2g+5g-8g = -9
\n" ); document.write( "-g = -9
\n" ); document.write( "g = 9\r
\n" ); document.write( "
