To expand the expression \(-\frac{7}{6}(3g + 2)\), we need to distribute \(-\frac{7}{6}\) to both terms inside the parentheses.

  1. Distributing to the first term:
    \(-\frac{7}{6} \times 3g = -\frac{21}{6}g\)

  2. Distributing to the second term:
    \(-\frac{7}{6} \times 2 = -\frac{14}{6} = -\frac{7}{3}\)

Now, we can combine these results:

\[ -\frac{21}{6}g - \frac{7}{3} \]

We can simplify \(-\frac{21}{6}g\) to \(-\frac{7}{2}g\) (by dividing both the numerator and the denominator by 3):

Thus, the final expanded expression is:

\[ -\frac{7}{2}g - \frac{7}{3} \]

So the correct response is:
