Solve: - (g+ 12) = 5(9 - 12)

-27

Step-by-step explanation:

(g+ 12) = 5(9 - 12)

g = 45 - 60 - 12

g = - 27

g = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

- (g+ 12) = 5(9 - 12)     (remove parentheses by distributive property. See attached for reference)

g(-1) +  12(-1) = 9(5) -12(5)

-g - 12 = 45 - 60

-g - 12 = -15    (add 12 to both sides)

-g = -15 + 12

-g = -3   (multiply both sides by -1)

g = 3

the answer would be c:   ax + b = ax + c

step-by-step explanation:

y= 2x+7

changed to y= 5x +7

as slope is increased from 2 to 5

therefore it would be less steeper

so, option d) is correct
