Explanation:

Let's solve your equation step-by-step.

4−(9g−5)=−18

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

4−(9g−5)=−18

4+−1(9g−5)=−18(Distribute the Negative Sign)

4+−1(9g)+(−1)(−5)=−18

4+−9g+5=−18

(−9g)+(4+5)=−18(Combine Like Terms)

−9g+9=−18

−9g+9=−18

Step 2: Subtract 9 from both sides.

−9g+9−9=−18−9

−9g=−27

Step 3: Divide both sides by -9.

−9g−9=−27−9

g=3
