How to solve 1/3 = 2/(G + 1)

1. Factor the equation (x + 2)(x + 3) = 0. 2. Set each factor equal to zero: x + 2 = 0 and x + 3 = 0. 3. Solve for x: x = -2 and x = -3.

Question

$$\frac{1}{3}=\frac{2}{G+1}$$

Solve for G

$G=5$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Variable $G$ cannot be equal to $-1$ since division by zero is not defined. Multiply both sides of the equation by $3\left(G+1\right)$, the least common multiple of $3,G+1$.

$$G+1=3\times 2$$

Multiply $3$ and $2$ to get $6$.

$$G+1=6$$

Subtract $1$ from both sides.

$$G=6-1$$

Subtract $1$ from $6$ to get $5$.

$$G=5$$
