Question 18602
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(-11)+14-5(-11)=-8}}}
{{{-77+14+55=-8}}}
{{{-8=-8}}}
Since the equation is true, your answer is correct
Your final answer is {{{g=-11}}}
Hope this helps!
