Question

Solve the problem 3g+7g+8=-10+g

Answer 1

First simplify like terms (things with the same letter):

3g + 7g + 8 = -10 + g

10g + 8 = -10 + g

Next we should take g off both sides:

9g + 8 = -10

Next isolate 9g by taking 8 off both sides:

9g = -18

Next divide both sides by 9 to find the value of g:

g = -2
