Write the sentence as an equation.

249 plus [tex]\( g \)[/tex] equals 157.

[tex]\[ 249 + g = 157 \][/tex]

Answer :

Sure, let's write the sentence "249 plus [tex]\( g \)[/tex] equals 157" as an equation and solve for [tex]\( g \)[/tex].

1. First, convert the sentence into an equation:
[tex]\[
249 + g = 157
\][/tex]

2. To solve for [tex]\( g \)[/tex], we need to get [tex]\( g \)[/tex] by itself on one side of the equation. We can do this by subtracting 249 from both sides:
[tex]\[
g = 157 - 249
\][/tex]

3. Now, perform the subtraction:
[tex]\[
157 - 249 = -92
\][/tex]

So, the value of [tex]\( g \)[/tex] is [tex]\(-92\)[/tex].

Therefore, the equation [tex]\( 249 + g = 157 \)[/tex] simplifies to [tex]\( g = -92 \)[/tex].
