2g%2B14%2B5g=8g-3%2B8 Start with the given equation.


7g%2B14=8g-3%2B8 Combine like terms on the left side.


7g%2B14=8g%2B5 Combine like terms on the right side.


7g=8g%2B5-14 Subtract 14 from both sides.


7g-8g=5-14 Subtract 8g from both sides.


-g=5-14 Combine like terms on the left side.


-g=-9 Combine like terms on the right side.


g=%28-9%29%2F%28-1%29 Divide both sides by -1 to isolate g.


g=9 Reduce.
