Answer:
[tex] \boxed{g = -3} [/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
[First, distribute the factored term on the left side of the equation (distribution property of equality)]
-2 ( 4g – 3 ) = 30 →
-2 ( 4g ) – -2 ( 3 ) = 30 →
-8g + 6 = 30 →
[Next, subtract 6 from both sides (subtraction property of equality)]
-8g + 6 – 6 = 30 – 6 →
-8g = 24 →
[Finally, divide both sides by -8 to cancel out the coefficient of -8 in -8g and reduce it to solve for g (division property of equality)]
-8g / -8 = 24 / -8 →
g = -3
