Either you cross multiply or follow the law of equation to solve it

Answer 2

Answer:

One; g = 77/5

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

5g+4(−59−5)=−159−20

5g+−256=−159+−20

5g−256=(−159+−20)(Combine Like Terms)

5g−256=−179

5g−256=−179

Step 2: Add 256 to both sides.

5g−256+256=−179+256

5g=77

Step 3: Divide both sides by 5.
