G = -3

-5(-3) - 13(-3) = 54
15 + 39 = 54
54 = 54

-5g - 13g = 54 \\ 5g - 13 = -18g \\ -18g = 54

Let's
divide
-18 on each of your sides to find your
answer to this question


(-18)/(-18) = (54)/(-18) \\ \\ (-18)/(-18) = 1 \\ \\ (54)/(-18) = -3 \\ \\ Answer: g = -3

Good luck on your assignment and enjoy your day!
