To solve the inequality \(-12g + 18 > -5g + 53\), we will first rearrange the equation:

1. Add \(12g\) to both sides:
\[ 18 > 7g + 53 \]

2. Subtract \(53\) from both sides:
\[ 18 - 53 > 7g \]
\[ -35 > 7g \]

3. Divide both sides by \(7\):
\[ -5 > g \]
or equivalently,
\[ g < -5 \]

Thus, the solution to the inequality is \(g < -5\). Therefore, the correct response is:

**g < −5** (g less than negative 5).
