1 answer

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

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

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

    This simplifies to:

    \(-7g > 35\)

  2. Divide both sides by -7: Remember that when you divide or multiply both sides of an inequality by a negative number, you must reverse the inequality sign.

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

    This simplifies to:

    \(g < -5\)

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

Therefore, the correct response is: g < -5.
