Question

Solve -7g - 2 = - 30. Show your steps.

Answer 1

g = 4

Explanation:

First you can add 2 to both sides to isolate the x term:

-7g -2 = -30

+2 +2

-7g = -28

Now, you can divide by -7 both sides to find g,

-7g = -28

÷ -7 ÷ -7

g = 4

Answer 2

g = 4

Explanation:

-7g - 2 = -30

Add 2 to both sides to get:

-7g -2+2 = -30+2

which is equal to:

-7g = -28

now divide both sides by -7 to get the value of g which is:

g = -28 / - 7

--> g = 4
