We have B in terms of G; what we want is to get G in terms of B. This is done by isolating the G term through operations.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"B+=+2%28G-5%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"B%2F2+=+G-5\" ... divide both sides by 2
\n" ); document.write( "\"B%2F2+%2B+5+=+G\" ... add 5 to both sides\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Thus, the value of G is \"B%2F2+%2B+5\".\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "To verify this, we substitute the value of G we just obtained into the original equation for B:
\n" ); document.write( "\"B+=+2%28G-5%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"B+=+2%28%28B%2F2+%2B+5%29+-+5%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"B+=+2%28B%2F2%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"B+=+B\" ... yup!
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
