Question

Reday ➡) Solve the equation - 10(g-6) - 65. What is the value of g? g= -10(g- 6) = 65 -10g +60= 65 Use the distributive property​

Answer 1

To solve the equation -10(g - 6) = 65, distribute the -10, simplify, and isolate g to find that g = -0.5. Checking the solution by substituting back into the original equation confirms the reasonableness of the answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve the equation -10(g - 6) = 65, first apply the distributive property to the left side of the equation:

• 
  
• -10 * g = -10g
• 
  
• -10 * (-6) = +60

Now the equation looks like this: -10g + 60 = 65.

Next, isolate the variable 'g' by first subtracting 60 from both sides of the equation:

• 
  
• -10g + 60 - 60 = 65 - 60
• 
  
• -10g = 5

Then divide each side by -10 to get the value of 'g':

• 
  
• -10g / -10 = 5 / -10
• 
  
• g = -0.5

Therefore, the value of g in the equation -10(g - 6) = 65 is -0.5.
