$g= 10 or g=1/10$ depending on what is meant in the question,

It is not clear whether the question means:
$4 = (2g)/5 " "or" "4= 2/(5g)$

Let's consider both.

$4 = (2g)/5" "larr xx 5/2$ on both sides

$4 xx5/2 = (2g)/5 xx 5/2$

$10 =g$

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Or

$4= 2/(5g)" "larr$ invert both sides

$1/4 = (5g)/2" "larr xx 2/5$ on both sides

$1/4 xx2/5 = (5g)/2 xx 2/5$

$1/10 = g$
