first i would distrube the 4

then multiply both sides by 8

then muliply both sides by 28+12g

then distrubite the -g

then add 28g+12g^2 to both sides

then factor which i am too tired to do right now
hope that helps

Okay. first you distribute to get rid of the parentheses, so you should get something that looks like this:

Then you multiply out the fractions

Move the g's to the right side

Then multiply everything by 8 to get rid of the ugly fractions.



Check by plugging in -2 in G



Since the statement is true, you know that the number you plugged in is true.
Your final answer is -2.
Hope this helps!
