2\left(g+5\right)-\left(9+g\right)=16g
Multiply both sides of the equation by 4, the least common multiple of 2,4.
2g+10-\left(9+g\right)=16g
Use the distributive property to multiply 2 by g+5.
2g+10-9-g=16g
To find the opposite of 9+g, find the opposite of each term.
2g+1-g=16g
Subtract 9 from 10 to get 1.
g+1=16g
Combine 2g and -g to get g.
g+1-16g=0
Subtract 16g from both sides.
-15g+1=0
Combine g and -16g to get -15g.
-15g=-1
Subtract 1 from both sides. Anything subtracted from zero gives its negation.
g=\frac{-1}{-15}
Divide both sides by -15.
g=\frac{1}{15}
Fraction \frac{-1}{-15} can be simplified to \frac{1}{15} by removing the negative sign from both the numerator and the denominator.
