Using the properties of equality, solve the equation 14(8−16g)+8=g .

8 answers

First, we distribute the 14 inside the parentheses:

14 * 8 - 14 * 16g + 8 = g

Next, we combine like terms on the left side:

112 - 224g + 8 = g

We can simplify further by moving all terms containing g to one side:

g + 224g = 112 + 8

225g = 120

Finally, we solve for g by dividing both sides of the equation by 225:

g = 120 / 225

g = 8 / 15
You are wrong
Apologies for the confusion. Let's solve the equation correctly:

14(8 - 16g) + 8 = g

First, apply the distributive property on the left side:

112 - 224g + 8 = g

Combine like terms by adding 224g to both sides:

112 + 8 = g + 224g

120 = 225g

Divide both sides by 225 to isolate g:

g = 120 / 225

Simplify the fraction:

g = 8 / 15
Its not 8/15
Apologies for the mistake. Let's solve the equation correctly:

14(8 - 16g) + 8 = g

First, apply the distributive property on the left side:

112 - 224g + 8 = g

Combine like terms by subtracting g from both sides:

120 - 224g = g

Next, isolate the variable by adding 224g to both sides:

120 = g + 224g

Combine like terms:

120 = 225g

Now, divide both sides by 225 to solve for g:

g = 120/225

Simplifying the fraction:

g = 8/15
You are bad its not right
Apologies for the incorrect response. Let's solve the equation correctly:

14(8 - 16g) + 8 = g

First, distribute 14 inside the parentheses:

112 - 224g + 8 = g

Combine like terms on the left side:

120 - 224g = g

Add 224g to both sides:

120 = g + 224g

Combine like terms:

120 = 225g

Now, divide both sides by 225 to solve for g:

g = 120/225

Simplifying the fraction:

g = 8/15
