What value of g would make the following expressions equivalent?

Question

−3(x−4)+2 and −3x+14−g

(1 point)

Answer 1

To make the two expressions equivalent, we need to set their coefficients of x and constants equal to each other.

For the coefficients of x:
-3 = -3 (no change needed)

For the constants:
-12 + 2 = 14 - g
-10 = 14 - g

Now, we can solve for g:
g = 14 - (-10)
g = 24

Therefore, the value of g that would make the two expressions equivalent is 24.
