(4)/(9(x+3)) = g


(4(x+3))/(9) =g


4(x+3)=g*9
||Multiply- both -sides -by-\ \textgreater \ 9||


4(x+3)=9g
||Regroup -terms||


x+3= (9g)/(4)
||Divide- both -sides- by-\ \textgreater \ 4||


x= (9g)/(4) -3

(4)/(9)(x+3)=g\ \ \ \ |multiply\ both\ sides\ by\ 9\\\\4(x+3)=9g\ \ \ \ |use\ distributive\ property:a(b+c)=ab+ac\\\\4x+12=9g\ \ \ \ |subtract\ 12\ from\ both\ sides\\\\4x=9g-12\ \ \ \ |divide\ both\ sides\ by\ 4\\\\\boxed{x=(9)/(4)g-3}
