Question

I need help for this question I’m stuck

Answer 1

g=6

Explanation:

We can start by multiplying both sides by 2

5(3g+2)=100

Now we can distribute the 5 by using the distributive property

15g+10=100

Then we subtract 10 from both sides

15g=90

Divide both sides by 15

g=6

Answer 2

6

Explanation:

5(3g + 2)/2 = 50 Multiply both sides by 2

5(3g + 2) = 50*2 = 100 Remove the brackets

15g + 10 = 100 Subtract 10 ***

15g+10-10 = 100 - 10 Collect like terms.

15g = 90 Divide by 15 ***

15g/15 = 90/15

g = 6

I don't know how to cut this down so that it requires only 2 steps. I guess that the two steps marked with *** are the 2 I would choose.
