You can put this solution on YOUR website!
You first want all the numbers with variables on one side and all the regular numbers on the other.
So, your equation should look like this:
7g-5g=-8-14
*REMEMBER
When moving numbers across an equal sign, you must always use the opposite of the number*
Then you simplify the equation
2g=-22
g=-11
*CHECK*
Plug -11 back in for g
7%28-11%29%2B14-5%28-11%29=-8
-77%2B14%2B55=-8
-8=-8
Since the equation is true, your answer is correct
Your final answer is g=-11
Hope this helps!
