Answers

Answered by GPT-4o mini
To solve the inequality \(-12g + 18 > -5g + 53\), we can follow these steps:

1. **Rearrange the inequality to isolate the variable \(g\)**:
\[
-12g + 5g > 53 - 18
\]
This simplifies to:
\[
-7g > 35
\]

2. **Divide both sides by -7**. Remember that when you divide by a negative number, you need to flip the inequality sign:
\[
g < -5
\]

So, the solution to the inequality is \(g < -5\).

The correct response is:
**g < -5**.
