To find the value of \( g(20) \), we will substitute \( x = 20 \) into the function \( g(x) = 6(2x + 7) \).

First, substitute \( x \) with 20:

\[ g(20) = 6(2(20) + 7) \]

Now, calculate \( 2(20) \):

\[ 2(20) = 40 \]

Next, add 7 to this result:

\[ 40 + 7 = 47 \]

Now, multiply this sum by 6:

\[ g(20) = 6 \times 47 \]

Calculating that gives:

\[ 6 \times 47 = 282 \]

So, the value of \( g(20) \) is \( \boxed{282} \).
