Mr. Lopez wrote the equation 32 g + 8 g minus 10 g = 150 on the board. Four students explained how to solve for g.

Alyssa: “I added 32 and 8 to get 40, subtracted 10 to get 30, and then subtracted 30 from 150 to find the value of g, which is 120.”

Rahul: “I added 32, 8, and 10 to get 50, and then I subtracted 150 to find the value of g, which is –100.”

Toni: “I subtracted 18 from 32 to get 14, which I then divided into 150 to find the value of g, which is 10 and StartFraction 5 Over 7 EndFraction.”

Wilhem: “I added 32 and 8 to get 40, subtracted 10 to get 30, and then divided both sides by 30 to find the value of g, which is 5.”

Which student’s work is correct?

Rahul
Toni
Wilhem

Answer:

Option D.

Explanation:

The given equation is


32g+8g-10g=150

It can be written as


(32+8-10)g=150

To solve this equation, add 32 and 8.


(40-10)g=150

Subtract 10 from 40.


30g=150

Divide both sides by 30.


(30g)/(30)=(150)/(30)


g=5

The value of g is 5 and wilhem is correct.

Therefore, the correct option is D.
