how do I solve two-step equationsex. 3g+5=17
easy ! you first subtract the 5 to itself and to the 17, so 5 - 5 and 17 - 5. your equation should look like 3g = 12. since we need to isolate the variable (g) we need to divide 3 by itself and 12 by 3, so 3 ÷ 3 and 12 ÷ 3. now you have g = 4!
3g+5=17 -5 -5 your subtracting the number 3g = 1212 divided by 3 = 4
