To solve the equation \( 14(8 - 16g) + 8 = g \), we will use the properties of equality step-by-step:
-
First, distribute \( 14 \) inside the parentheses: \[ 14 \cdot 8 - 14 \cdot 16g + 8 = g \] This simplifies to: \[ 112 - 224g + 8 = g \]
-
Combine the constant terms on the left side: \[ 112 + 8 - 224g = g \] Which simplifies to: \[ 120 - 224g = g \]
-
Next, add \( 224g \) to both sides to get all terms involving \( g \) on one side: \[ 120 = g + 224g \] This simplifies to: \[ 120 = 225g \]
-
Now, isolate \( g \) by dividing both sides by \( 225 \): \[ g = \frac{120}{225} \]
-
Simplify \( \frac{120}{225} \): \[ g = \frac{120 \div 15}{225 \div 15} = \frac{8}{15} \]
Thus, the solution to the equation is \[ g = \frac{8}{15}. \]
