In algebra, when you have an expression like 6g-g, you can simplify it by combining like terms. In this case, the "g" terms are like terms because they have the same variable. So, 6g-g simplifies to 5g, meaning you subtract the coefficient of the second term from the coefficient of the first term while keeping the variable the same.
