Answer: g = 4

Step-by-step explanation: The key is to isolate the variable on one side. In this equation, this means isolating -6g. This is why I first subtracted 36 from both sides of the equation. Given that the key is to isolate the variable, -6 needs to de divided by on each side. A negative number divided by a negative number is a positive number, which is why "g" is represented with a positive number.

If you have any other questions about how to solve equations similar to this, please do not hesitate to ask :)
