-5g -6 for g=-2 does anybody know the answer? I am confused.
What you do is you put the -2 as the g.
-5(-2) - 6 = 4 is your answer.
-5(-2) - 6 = 4
10 - 6 = 4
Pretty soon you will have this distributive property thing figured out .
To find the value of the expression -5g - 6 when g is equal to -2, you can substitute -2 for g in the expression and perform the arithmetic:
-5g - 6
Replace g with -2:
-5(-2) - 6
Multiply -5 by -2:
10 - 6
Subtract 6 from 10:
4
Therefore, when g is -2, the value of the expression -5g - 6 is 4.
