Answer

$g=-4$.

Work Step by Step

The given equation is $\Rightarrow 10(g+5)=2(g+9)$ Use distributive property. $\Rightarrow 10g+50=2g+18$ Add $-2g-50$ to both sides. $\Rightarrow 10g+50-2g-50=2g+18-2g-50$ Simplify. $\Rightarrow 8g=-32$ Divide both sides by $8$. $\Rightarrow \frac{8g}{8}=\frac{-32}{8}$ Simplify. $\Rightarrow g=-4$. Check:- $\Rightarrow 10(-4+5)=2(-4+9)$ $\Rightarrow 10(1)=2(5)$ $\Rightarrow 10=10$ True. Hence, the solution is $g=-4$.
