Question

Simplifying Algebraic Expression
Using the Distributive Property & Combining Like Terms

Solve:
4 (g +7) = 64
4g + 4(4) = 64
4g + 16 = 64

I'm getting a bit confused and struggling a lot in this problem. Please help me!

Ms. Sue
Where did you get your second line?

4 (g +7) = 64

4g + 28 = 64

4g + 28 - 28 = 64 - 28

4g = 36

g = 36/4

g = 9

ohhhhh i made a little mistake in the problem in the second line

i must of type too fast or a typo

anyways thank you!!!!!!!!!! :)

Ms. Sue
You're welcome. :-)
