Question

10(g+5) = 2(g +9)
solve for g​

Answer 1

g = - 4

Explanation:

Given

10(g + 5) = 2(g + 9) ← divide both sides by 2 )

5(g + 5) = g + 9 , that is

5g + 25 = g + 9 ( subtract g from both sides )

4g + 25 = 9 ( subtract 25 from both sides )

4g = - 16 ( divide both sides by 4 )

g = - 4

Answer 2

g= -4

Explanation:

1. Remove the parentheses by multiplying 5 by 10 and 9 by 2 so that would be 10g + 50= 2g + 18

2. Move the terms by their correct side. Constants to the right and variables to the left so that would be 10g - 2g = 18 - 50

3. Now do 10 - 2 and 18 - 50 so the results will be 8g = -32

4. Divide both sides of the equation by 8 so 32÷8.

5. The result is g= -4
