Solve for g by getting it by itself one one side of the equation.

g is divided by 3. To get ig by itself we need to multiply both sides by 3.
OpenStudy (anonymous):
so what is the answer
OpenStudy (joannablackwelder):
This doesn't change the equation because we are doing the same thing to both sides.
OpenStudy (joannablackwelder):
Be patient. I wont help you of you just want the answer and aren't interested in learning how to do the problem yourself.

3/3 cancels out on the left side leaving g by itself.
OpenStudy (joannablackwelder):
And the right simplifies to. 15/4
