8 (3g+2)-3g=3 (5g-4)-2 Multiply the number outside the exponent with the numbers inside the parenthisis. 24g+16-3g=15g-12-2 Subtract 3g from 24g 21g+16=15g-12-2 Add 15g to 21g 36g+16=-12-2 Subtract 2 from -12 36g+16=-14 Subtract 16 from -14 36g=30 Final Answer: g=0.83 (The three goes on infinitely.)
