Given statement:
20 is the same as the sum of 4 and g
Let us break down the statement into parts and then write the equation
the sum of 4 and g:
[tex]\text{= 4 + g}[/tex]This sum is equal to 20:
[tex]4\text{ + g = 20}[/tex]Hence, the equation is:
[tex]4\text{ + g = 20}[/tex]Solving for the variable:
[tex]\begin{gathered} \text{Collect like terms} \\ g\text{ = 20 -4} \\ g\text{ = 16} \end{gathered}[/tex]Answer Summary
[tex]\begin{gathered} \text{equation: 4 + g = 20} \\ g\text{ = 16} \end{gathered}[/tex]
