-5g - 6 for g = -2, i do not understand how to do this equation can someone explain? (not asking for a direct answer)

if g =-2 then you put -2 where g is in the problem then solve it

-5g - 6
-5(-2) - 6

do you know what to do from here?

AHA so the answer is 4?

yes good job

wow thanks i know i look stupid now but i just didnt see it right again thank you

your welcome

To evaluate the expression -5g - 6 for g = -2, we need to substitute the value of g with -2 and simplify the expression.

Step 1: Replace g with -2 in the expression -5g - 6.
-5(-2) - 6

Step 2: Apply the order of operations. Perform the multiplication first: -5 * -2 = 10.
10 - 6

Step 3: Perform the subtraction: 10 - 6 = 4.

Therefore, when g = -2, the expression -5g - 6 equals 4.
