When distributing you would distribute it into the paranthesis only meaning you would multiply each variable or number with the number on the outside....

$\huge{5(g-18) \rightarrow (( 5 \times g) - (18 \times 5))}$

How do I find out what 'g' is?

563blackghost · Answer

$\large{g}$ stays as a variable....variable meaning that it can be any real number but we dont know what that is so it stays as `g`...
