An energy grid generator output g is modified across three operational stages. Stage 1 computes p = 2g - 5. Stage 2 computes q = dfracp + 134. Stage 3 computes r = |q - 5| + 6.
If the final generator reading r = 17, and the generator output q after Stage 2 was strictly positive, what was the initial output g?
