PSAT Math Grid-Ins Question 103: Answer and Explanation

Question: 103

What value of g satisfies the equation –8(g – 3) = –2g + 6?

Correct Answer: 3

Explanation:

3

The question asks for the value of a variable in an equation. Distribute the –8 through the parentheses on the left side of the equation to yield –8g + 24 = –2g + 6. Add 8g to both sides to get 24 = 6g + 6. Then, subtract 6 from both sides to get 18 = 6g. Divide both sides of the equation by 6 to get 3 = g. The correct answer is 3.
