g - 6 = 12
In order to isolate the variable 'g' you must add 6 to both sides of the equation.
In algebra, you must perform the opposite operation of the one presented in the problem. For example, the equation above has "minus 6". The opposite opporation for subtraction is addition. So in this case you must ADD 6 to both sides of the equation. Performing the operation to both sides of the equation is essentially multiplying the entire equation by 1, and any time you multiply something by 1 you get the same thing. Because of this, adding to both sides of the equation does not change the final answer.
So..
g - 6 = 12
+6 +6
g = 18

What is the first thing you need to do when you have an equation?
Well, we need to know what the problem is. If you have an equation with a variable in it, like 3x = 9, you need to solve for x, i.e., get x on one side and anumber on the other side. An equation can also be like 2 + 2 = 4, which is already fully given to you. An equation could be anything with an equals sign (=), including the following:42 = the meaning of life
