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?

Question

5g − 10
=
−5g − 6
+
5g
+
5g

10g − 10
=
−6

Divide both sides by 10

Multiply both sides by 10

Add 10 to both sides

Subtract 10 from both sides

Answer 1

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

So the correct choice is:

Add 10 to both sides.

This will result in:

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

Which simplifies to:

\[ 10g = 4 \].
