Answer:

g = -0.5 or -1/2

Explanation:

-10(g – 6) = 65 : apply distributive property

(-10 • g) + (-10 • -6) = 65 : multiply

-10g + 60 = 65 : apply property of equal subtraction

-10g + 60 – 60 = 65 – 60 : subtract

-10g = 5 : apply property of equal division

-10g ÷ -10 = 5 ÷ -10 : divide

g = -0.5
