Question

Now that you have all the g terms on the left, you can start thinking about how to make sure the constant numbers are only on one side of the equation. What move can you make to get rid of the −10 on the left, so that all the constant numbers are on the right, while keeping the equation balanced?
5g − 10
=
−5g − 6
+
5g
+
5g

10g − 10
=
−6

Subtract 10 from both sides

Add 10 to both sides

Multiply both sides by 10

Divide both sides by 10

Answer 1

To get rid of the \(-10\) on the left side of the equation \(10g - 10 = -6\) and ensure all the constant numbers are on the right, you should **add 10 to both sides** of the equation.

This will balance the equation and result in:

\[
10g - 10 + 10 = -6 + 10
\]

Which simplifies to:

\[
10g = 4
\]

So, the correct move is to **add 10 to both sides**.
