Answer:

Explanation:

We can multiply both sides of the equation 3 because g is divided by 3 and we don’t want that fraction so:

(g/3-11)x3 = -4x3

Which equals:

g-33 = -12

We can then add 33 to the right side to get g alone, so:

g = -12+33

We add 33 because it is a negative number on the left side and we want to remove it from the left side and bring it to the right side (when a number or variable switches side so does its status as a negative or positive number)

Which equals:

ANSWER : g=21
