Find slope as negative reciprocal of 2 => m=-1/2

y=mx + b

8=5(-1/2) +b

b=21/2

y= -1/2x +21/2

Mr. Lopez wrote the equation 32g+8g-10g=150 on the board. Four students explained how to solve for g. Alyssa: “I added 32 and 8

Vaselesa [24]

Answer:

Wilhem

Step-by-step explanation:

The given equation is

$32g+8g-10g=150$

Step 1 : Add 32g and 8g.

$(32g+8g)-10g=150$

$(32+8)g-10g=150$

$40g-10g=150$

Step 2: Subtract 10 from 40.

$(40-10)g=150$

$30g=150$

Step 3: Divide both sides by 30, find the value of g.

$\frac{30g}{30}=\frac{150}{30}$

$g=5$

The value of g is 5.

Therefore, Wilhem is correct.
