Question

Equation : -2 (4g - 3) = 30

Answer 1

`\boxed{g = -3}`

Explanation:

[First, distribute the factored term on the left side of the equation (distribution property of equality)]

-2 ( 4g – 3 ) = 30 →

-2 ( 4g ) – -2 ( 3 ) = 30 →

-8g + 6 = 30 →

[Next, subtract 6 from both sides (subtraction property of equality)]

-8g + 6 – 6 = 30 – 6 →

-8g = 24 →

[Finally, divide both sides by -8 to cancel out the coefficient of -8 in -8g and reduce it to solve for g (division property of equality)]

-8g / -8 = 24 / -8 →

g = -3

Answer 2

g = -3

Explanation:

-2 (4g - 3) = 30

-8g + 6 = 30

-8g = 24

g = -3
