Question

there are several ways to start solving this equation. you can start by making sure there are only g terms on one side. lets get rid of the g terms on the right so there are only g terms on the left. what move can you make to both sides of the equation to get rid of the -5g on the right, so that the g terms are only on the left, while keeping the equation balanced? 5g - 6 = -5g - 4 multiply both sides by 5g add 5g to both sides divide both sides by 5g

Explanation:

Step1: Identify target operation

We need to eliminate $-5g$ from the right side. To cancel a $-5g$, we add its inverse ($5g$) to both sides.

Step2: Verify balance preservation

Adding $5g$ to both sides maintains the equation's balance:
$5g - 6 + 5g = -5g - 4 + 5g$
Simplifying gives $10g - 6 = -4$, which has only $g$ terms on the left.

Answer:

Add $5g$ to both sides
