$g - \frac{1}{3} = \frac{2}{9}$

Step 1

Add $\frac{1}{3}$ to both sides of the equation.

$g = \frac{2}{9} + \frac{1}{3}$

Step 2

To write $\frac{1}{3}$ as a fraction with a common denominator, multiply by $\frac{3}{3}$ .

$g = \frac{2}{9} + \frac{1}{3} \cdot \frac{3}{3}$

Step 3

Write each expression with a common denominator of $9$ , by multiplying each by an appropriate factor of $1$ .
