Answer: -9/2
Let's solve this equation step-by-step.
−8+2(3+8)=−4(g+1)
Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.
−8+2(3+8)=−4(g+1)
−8+2(3+8)=(−4)(g)+(−4)(1) (Distribute)
−8+22=−4g+−4
(−8+22)=−4g−4 (Combine Like Terms)
14=−4g−4
Step 2: Flip the equation.
−4g−4=14
Step 3: Add 4 to both sides.
−4g−4+4=14+4
−4g=18
Step 4: Divide both sides by -4.
−4g/−4 = 18/−4
g = −9/2
