Given the numerical equation:

g + 13 = 17

Determine the value of g.

Solution:

In order to determine the value of g, we simply need to transpose 13 to the other side of the equation. Hence, we must take note of the basic fundamental rule of mathematics in transposing values. The rule states that in transposing any values to its opposite side, the sign of the value will change. In our case 13 will become -13.

g + 13 = 17

g = 17 -13

g = 4

Final answer:

g = 4
