Answer: g = -0.32

Explanation:

Given

6 (-2g - 1) = (13g + 2)

Expand parentheses and apply the distributive property

6 · (-2g) - 6 · 1 = 13g + 2

-12g - 6 = 13g + 2

Add 12g on both sides

-12g - 6 + 12g = 13g + 2 + 12g

-6 = 25g + 2

Subtract 2 on both sides

-6 - 2 = 25g + 2 - 2

-8 = 25g

Divide 25 on both sides

-8 / 25= 25g / 25


\boxed{g=-0.32}

Hope this helps!! :)
