Answer

$g=\frac{3}{2}$ and $g=7$.

Work Step by Step

The given equation is $\Rightarrow (3-2g)(7-g)=0$ Use zero-product property rule. $\Rightarrow 3-2g=0$ or $7-g=0$ Solve for $g$. $\Rightarrow 3=2g$ or $7=g$ $\Rightarrow \frac{3}{2}=g$ or $7=g$ Check:- $g=\frac{3}{2}$ $\Rightarrow (3-2(\frac{3}{2}))(7-\frac{3}{2})=0$ $\Rightarrow (3-3)(\frac{11}{2})=0$ $\Rightarrow (0)(\frac{11}{2})=0$ $\Rightarrow 0=0$ True. Check:- $g=7$ $\Rightarrow (3-2(7))(7-7)=0$ $\Rightarrow (3-14)(0)=0$ $\Rightarrow 0=0$ True. Hence, the solutions are $g=\frac{3}{2}$ and $g=7$.
