Answer:
8.875
Step-by-step explanation:
The +5 and -5 cancel, so you are left with -69=2-8g. Subtract two on both sides to get -71=-8g then divide both side by -8 to get g=8.875.
g=71 / 8
- 69 - 5 + 5 = 2 - 8g
- 69 = - 8g + 2
- 69 + (- 2 = (- 8g + 2 ) + - 2)
- 71 = ( - 8g + 2) - 2
- 71 = - 8g + 2 - 2
-71 = 8g
- 8g = - 71
8g / 8 = 71 / 8
g = 71 / 8
If you add any number to itself, the result is divisible by 2.
