Math Problem Statement

1/2(3g-2)=g/2

Solution

Let's solve the equation:

12(3g2)=g2\frac{1}{2}(3g - 2) = \frac{g}{2}

Step 1: Eliminate the denominators

Multiply both sides of the equation by 2 to get rid of the fractions:

2×12(3g2)=2×g22 \times \frac{1}{2}(3g - 2) = 2 \times \frac{g}{2}

This simplifies to:

3g2=g3g - 2 = g

Step 2: Solve for gg

Now, subtract gg from both sides to get the variable terms on one side:

3gg2=gg3g - g - 2 = g - g

Simplifying:

2g2=02g - 2 = 0

Step 3: Isolate gg

Add 2 to both sides:

2g=22g = 2

Now divide by 2:

g=1g = 1

Thus, the solution is g=1g = 1.
