Given the numerical expression:
8(g+2) =2(23 - g)
Determine the answer.
Solution:
Distribute 8 and 2 to their corresponding parenthesis.
8(g+2) =2(23 - g)
8g+16 =46 - 2g
Transpose -2g and 16 on their opposite sides in order to combine like terms. Note that when transposing a number, the sign changes.
8g + 2g =46 - 16
10 g =30
Divide both sides by 10 in order to get the value of g.
10g/10 =30/10
g = 3
