1/4(7+3g)=-9/8
8[1/4(7+3g)=-9/8] [Multiply the through by 8 to get rid of the fractions]
2(7+3g)=-9
14+6g=-9
14-14+6g=-9-14
6g=-23
g=-23/6
.
Check by plugging in (g=-23/6)back into the original equation.

1/4(7+3g)=-9/8
7/4 + 3/4g = -9/8
3/4g = -9/8 - 7/4
8(3/4g) = 8(-9/8 - 7/4)
6g = -9-14
6g = -23
g = -23/6 or -3 5/6
