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

1. **Combine like terms**:
Start by moving all terms involving \(g\) to one side and constant terms to the other side.

\(-12g + 5g > 53 - 18\)

This simplifies to:
\(-7g > 35\)

2. **Divide by -7**:
Remember that when you divide an inequality by a negative number, you need to reverse the inequality sign.

\(g < \frac{35}{-7}\)

Simplifying this gives:
\(g < -5\)

Thus, the solution to the inequality is:

**g < -5**

So the correct response is **g < −5**.
