Solve the problem. 20 - 2/7 g = - 3/4

Hi Luckschaffer10

simplify 2/7g to 2g/7

subtract 20 from both sides

subtract 3/-4 - 20 to 83/-4

multiply both sides by 7

multiply 83/4 * 7 to 581/4

divide both sides by - 2

two negatives make a positive so its now g = 581/4/2

simplify 581/4/2 to 581/4*2

Lastly multiply 4 * 2 to 8

Answer: g = 581/8

*581/8 made into a mixed fraction would be 72 5/8.
