To solve this equation, you need to get g alone on one side, and a constant on the other side. On the left, the g term is inside of parentheses. What move can you make to rewrite the left side of this equation without parentheses, so that it’s easier to work with? 9−4(g+1)

To rewrite the left side of the equation $9 - 4(g + 1) = 2g - 7$ without parentheses, you should use the distributive property to multiply -4 and $(g + 1)$.

Here's how it works:

• Distribute the $-4$ to both terms inside the parentheses: $9 - 4(g + 1) = 9 - 4g - 4$
• Simplify the expression on the left side: $9 - 4g - 4 = 5 - 4g$

Now, the equation becomes: $5 - 4g = 2g - 7$

From here, you can proceed to solve for $g$.
