To solve the inequality \(-12g + 18 > -5g + 53\), we can follow these steps:

1. First, let's isolate the terms involving \(g\) on one side and the constant terms on the other side. Start by adding \(12g\) to both sides:

\[-12g + 12g + 18 > -5g + 12g + 53\]

This simplifies to:

\[18 > 7g + 53\]

2. Next, subtract \(53\) from both sides:

\[18 - 53 > 7g\]

Simplifying the left side gives:

\[-35 > 7g\]

3. Now, divide both sides by \(7\) (and remember to reverse the inequality since dividing by a negative value reverses the inequality):

\[\frac{-35}{7} > g\]

This simplifies to:

\[-5 > g\]

4. We can rewrite this in a more standard form:

\[g < -5\]

Thus, the solution to the inequality is:

**g < -5**
