Use h=5/6 to solve the equation h=5/3g + 2 for g. show or explain how you got your answer

5/3 g + 2 = 5/6
5/3 g = 5/6 -2 = -7/6
g= (-7/6) / (5/3) = (-7/6)*(3/5) = -7/15

Since you didn't use parentheses around that 5/3, I will have to assume that this is what you actually meant:  (5/3)g + 2 = h.  Solve this for g as follows:

mult. all terms by 3:   5g + 6 = 3h

subtr. 6 from both sies:    5g = 3h - 6

div. all terms by 5:             g = (3/5)h - 6/5

Now substitute 5/6 for h:    g = (3/5)(5/6) - 6/5

                                              = (1/2) - 6/5   = 5/10 - 12/10  = - 1/5 (answer)

You can find the area of a rectangle by multiplying the length and height. so multiply 1/2*7/4(which is the simpler version of 1 3/4) and you get 7/8 as your answer.
