If p-2g + 1 = g + 3p and p - 2 = 0, find g
A
-2
B
-1
C
1
D
2
Verified Correct Answer: B.
Step-by-Step Mathematical Solution
p - 2g + 1 = g + 3p.........(1)
p - 2 = 0 .........(2)
From (2), p = 2; put p = 2 into (1);
2 - 2g + 1 = g + 3(2)
3 - 2g = g + 6
-2g - g = 6 - 3
-3g = 3
g = \(\frac{3}{-3}\)
g = -1
