Answer 2

1/12 = g - 5/6 (add 5/6 to each side)
1/12 + 5/6 = g (common denominator is 12)
1/12 + 10/12 = g
11/12 = g

or if you do not want to mess with fractions...
1/12 = g - 5/6 (multiply the entire equation by LCD which is 12)
1 = 12g - 10 (add 10 to both sides)
10 + 1 = 12g
11 = 12g (now divide by 12)
11/12 = g
