Answer 1

g = 23/16

Explanation:

It looks like you want to find g in ...

3/16 = -5/4 +g

Add 5/4 to both sides of the equation.

(3/16) +(5/4) = (-5/4) +(5/4) + g

3/16 +20/16 = g

23/16 = g

As a mixed number, this is g = 1 7/16. We left it as an improper fraction because your question has an improper fraction.
