$g=-18$

If you subtract 8 from both sides:

$5/9g=1/6g+1-8$

$5/9g=1/6g-7$

Subtract $1/6g$ from both sides

$5/9g-1/6g=-7$

Change the fractions to equivalent ones so that we can subtract them

$10/18g-3/18g=-7$

Subtract them

$7/18g=-7$

Multiply both sides by 18

$7g=-7xx18$

Divide both sides by 7

$g=[-7xx18]/7$

$g=-18$

How do you solve 5/9g + 8 = 1/6g + 15/9g + 8 = 1/6g + 1?
