Question

14+2(4g-3)=40

Answer 1

first distribute 2 to 4g - 3

14 + 8g -6 = 40 Now combine like terms.
+(-6) +(-6)
------------------
8 + 8g = 40 Now subtract 8 from both sides.
-8 -8
-------------
8g = 32 now divide both sides by 8
/8 /8
----------
g = 4 Hope this helps!

Answer 2

14+2(4g-3)=40
14+8g-6=40
8g + 8 = 40
8g = 40- 8 = 32
g = 32/8 = 4
