combine like terms, then solve for g
i think the answer comes out to 17
solve and check the following equation:
6(g-6)=5g-2-g

i don't understand how to combine the like terms and how to solve the equation,
6(g-6)=5g-2-g
6(g-6)=5g-2-g
6(g-6)=5g-2-g
distribute the outside 6 to everything inside the parenthesis
6g-36=5g-2-g
now combine like terms (5g-g)
6g-36=4g-2
combine like terms (get the numbers on one side, and the variables on one side)
6g-4g=-2+36
solve
2g=34
solve for g
g=34/2 = 17
distribute the outside 6 to everything inside the parenthesis
6g-36=5g-2-g
now combine like terms (5g-g)
6g-36=4g-2
combine like terms (get the numbers on one side, and the variables on one side)
6g-4g=-2+36
solve
2g=34
solve for g
g=34/2 = 17
