Solve for g -g/24=5/12

$- \frac{g}{24} = \frac{5}{12}$

Multiply both sides of the equation by $- 24$ .

$- 24 (- \frac{g}{24}) = - 24 (\frac{5}{12})$

Simplify both sides of the equation.

Simplify the left side.

Simplify $- 24 (- \frac{g}{24})$ .

Cancel the common factor of $24$ .

Move the leading negative in $- \frac{g}{24}$ into the numerator.

$- 24 \frac{- g}{24} = - 24 (\frac{5}{12})$

Factor $24$ out of $- 24$ .

$24 (- 1) \frac{- g}{24} = - 24 (\frac{5}{12})$

Cancel the common factor.

$24 \cdot - 1 \frac{- g}{24} = - 24 (\frac{5}{12})$

Rewrite the expression.

$- - g = - 24 (\frac{5}{12})$

Multiply.

Multiply $- 1$ by $- 1$ .

$1 g = - 24 (\frac{5}{12})$

Multiply $g$ by $1$ .

$g = - 24 (\frac{5}{12})$

Simplify the right side.

Simplify $- 24 (\frac{5}{12})$ .

Cancel the common factor of $12$ .

Factor $12$ out of $- 24$ .

$g = 12 (- 2) \frac{5}{12}$

Cancel the common factor.

$g = 12 \cdot - 2 \frac{5}{12}$

Rewrite the expression.

$g = - 2 \cdot 5$

Multiply $- 2$ by $5$ .

$g = - 10$
