Solve for g 8-2g-2+4g=20

$8 - 2 g - 2 + 4 g = 20$

Step 1

Simplify $8 - 2 g - 2 + 4 g$ .

Subtract $2$ from $8$ .

$- 2 g + 6 + 4 g = 20$

Add $- 2 g$ and $4 g$ .

$2 g + 6 = 20$

Step 2

Move all terms not containing $g$ to the right side of the equation.

Subtract $6$ from both sides of the equation.

$2 g = 20 - 6$

Subtract $6$ from $20$ .

$2 g = 14$

Step 3

Divide each term in $2 g = 14$ by $2$ and simplify.

Divide each term in $2 g = 14$ by $2$ .

$\frac{2 g}{2} = \frac{14}{2}$

Simplify the left side.

Cancel the common factor of $2$ .

Cancel the common factor.

$\frac{2 g}{2} = \frac{14}{2}$

Divide $g$ by $1$ .

$g = \frac{14}{2}$

Simplify the right side.

Divide $14$ by $2$ .

$g = 7$
