5g+4(-5+3g)=1-g\ \ \ |use\ distributive\ property\ a(b+c)=ab+ac\\\\5g+4(-5)+4(3g)=1-g\\\\5g-20+12g=1-g\\\\5g+12g-20=1-g\\\\17g-20=1-g\ \ \ |add\ 20\ to\ both\ sides\\\\17g=21-g\ \ \ |add\

5g + 4(-5 + 3g) = 1 - g
5g - 20 + 12g = 1 - g
17g - 20 = 1 - g

(18g)/(18) = (21)/(18)
there can be to answer
g =
(21)/(18) or
you can simplify
(21/3)/(18/3) = (7)/(6) or
1 (1)/(6)
