Since `-6` does not contain the variable to solve for, move it to the right-hand side of the equation by adding `6` to both sides.
`g=6+2 `
Add `2` to `6` to get `8` .
Therefore, `g = 8`
Find the value of g. Use the golden rule of algebra: What is done to one side must be done to the other side.
Add 6 to both sides.
`g-6+6=2+6`
`g=8`
Thus the value of g is equal to 8.
