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.

B+=+2%28G-5%29
B%2F2+=+G-5 ... divide both sides by 2
B%2F2+%2B+5+=+G ... add 5 to both sides

Thus, the value of G is B%2F2+%2B+5.

To verify this, we substitute the value of G we just obtained into the original equation for B:
B+=+2%28G-5%29
B+=+2%28%28B%2F2+%2B+5%29+-+5%29
B+=+2%28B%2F2%29
B+=+B ... yup!
