Algebra 1 homework help...?

Question

I need to know what do you do first in this equation...I dont need the answer, I just need to know the first step...thx

Equation: (2g - 15) + g = 9

Answer 1

Remove the parenthesis, then solve as usual.

(There is no real need for the parenthesis here.)

Good luck in your studies,

Answer 2

Just pretend that the parentheses aren't there, because you can't really do anything in the parentheses until you find out what 'g' is.

Answer 3

Because there is no coefficient or negative outside of the parentheses, you can simply get rid of them. Then combine like terms by adding 2g and g together...and I'll let you take it from there. ;)

Answer 4

remove parenthesis and add 15 to both sides :P

Answer 5

(2g - 15) + g = 9

well i think you go like this

2g-15+g=9

2g-g >    g-15=9 >    g=24

but i dont know how you were taught and we learned a little bit of this i pre-algebra last year

Answer 6

take out the parenthesis and add 2g + g= 3g

Answer 7

remove the ( ) s and then solve it like normal

find things that have common things like positive 2g and posivite g

together, that makes 3g

that makes the equation 3g-15

and you can solve anything after that

:)

so i gave u your answer too.. haha

Answer 8

remove parentheses and collect like terms.

Answer 9

In order to answer the equation you need to get g by itself... so...

(2g - 15) + g = 9

divide both sides by (2g - 15) and then you have

(2g - 15) + g = 9        (all over.. bare with me with the keyboard)

------------------   ---------

(2g - 15)          (2g - 15)

the (2g - 15) on the left side cancels each other out and your left with:

g=  9

     ---------

     2g - 15
