Solve for g 4g-5-g=13

$4 g - 5 - g = 13$

Step 1

Subtract $g$ from $4 g$ .

$3 g - 5 = 13$

Step 2

Move all terms not containing $g$ to the right side of the equation.

Add $5$ to both sides of the equation.

$3 g = 13 + 5$

Add $13$ and $5$ .

$3 g = 18$

Step 3

Divide each term in $3 g = 18$ by $3$ and simplify.

Divide each term in $3 g = 18$ by $3$ .

$\frac{3 g}{3} = \frac{18}{3}$

Simplify the left side.

Cancel the common factor of $3$ .

Cancel the common factor.

$\frac{3 g}{3} = \frac{18}{3}$

Divide $g$ by $1$ .

$g = \frac{18}{3}$

Simplify the right side.

Divide $18$ by $3$ .

$g = 6$
