Question

there are many ways you could solve this equation. we need to get g alone on one side, and a constant number alone on the other side. since g is inside the parentheses on the left, we can use the distributive property to rewrite the equation without parentheses. go for it. distribute the \\(\frac{1}{4}\\) to 24g - 8. you can think of this as (24g - 8) is being multiplied by \\(\frac{1}{4}\\). \\(\frac{1}{4} (24g - 8)=8g+6\\) \\(\square =8g+6\\)

Explanation:

Step1: Distribute $\frac{1}{4}$ to terms

Multiply $\frac{1}{4}$ by $24g$ and $-8$:
$\frac{1}{4} \times 24g - \frac{1}{4} \times 8$

Step2: Calculate each product

Simplify the two terms:
$6g - 2$

Answer:

$6g - 2$
