3g-6(g-8)=423g−6(g−8)=42
Step 1
Step 1.1
Simplify each term.
Step 1.1.1
Apply the distributive property.
3g-6g-6⋅-8=423g−6g−6⋅−8=42
Step 1.1.2
Multiply -6−6 by -8−8.
3g-6g+48=423g−6g+48=42
3g-6g+48=423g−6g+48=42
Step 1.2
Subtract 6g6g from 3g3g.
-3g+48=42−3g+48=42
-3g+48=42−3g+48=42
Step 2
Step 2.1
Subtract 4848 from both sides of the equation.
-3g=42-48−3g=42−48
Step 2.2
Subtract 4848 from 4242.
-3g=-6−3g=−6
-3g=-6−3g=−6
Step 3
Step 3.1
Divide each term in -3g=-6−3g=−6 by -3−3.
-3g-3=-6-3−3g−3=−6−3
Step 3.2
