Let's solve the equation step by step.

Starting with the given equation:

\[ 5g - 10 = -5g - 6 + 5g + 5g \]

First, combine like terms on the right side:

  • The two \(-5g\) and \(+5g\) cancel each other out, leaving us with:

\[ 5g - 10 = -6 + 5g \]

Now, subtract \(5g\) from both sides:

\[ 5g - 5g - 10 = -6 + 5g - 5g \]

This simplifies to:

\[ -10 = -6 \]

Next, we'll isolate \(g\) by moving the constants to one side of the equation:

Now we simplify to isolate \(g\).

We don't have any \(g\) terms after simplification, and there seems to be an inconsistency, since \(-10 \neq -6\). However, let's analyze your second part.

You have the rewritten relation:

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

On the right side, combine the constants:

\[ -6 + 10 + 10 = 14 \]

So the equation now looks like this:

\[ 10g - 10 = 14 \]

Next, add 10 to both sides:

\[ 10g = 14 + 10 \]

Which simplifies to:

\[ 10g = 24 \]

Now, divide both sides by 10 to solve for \(g\):

\[ g = \frac{24}{10} = \frac{12}{5} \]

So, the final solution is:

\[ g = 2.4 \] or \(\frac{12}{5}\).
