Question

2(g+6)=-20 solve and check

Answer 1

2 x g +6 = -20 so you would do -20 - 6 = -26 then you would do -26 divided by 2 = -13 the answer should be -13. if not please tell me

Answer 2

2(g + 6) = -20 (distribute the 2)
2g + 12 = -20 (subtract 12 from both sides)
2g = -32 (divide both sides by 2)
g = -16

2((-16) + 6) = -20 (solve in the parenthesis)
2(-10) = -20 (multiply)
-20 = -20

Hope this helps.
