g over 5-7 = -27......how do u do this???

g/(5 - 7) = -27
The approach is to move the numbers to one side of the equation and the g's to the other [although you have only one 'g']
You can add/subtract/multiply/divide the same thing from both sides of an equation.
So, lets multiply both sides by (5 - 7):
(g/(5 - 7) )* (5 - 7) = -27 * (5 - 7)
then,
g = -27 * (-2)
g = +54 [since multiplying two minuses makes a plus]
Hope this helps!

G/5-7=-27
okay....
G/2=-27/1
so...
G=-54

g / 5 - 7 = -27 --- 5 - 7 = -2...
g / -2 = -27 --- Multiply both sides by -2...
g = 54

The problem is solved by doing the problem step-by-step.
g/5-7=-27
Subtract 5-7 to get 2
g/2=-27
You times 2 on both sides of the problem to get-
g=54
That is how you solve the problem step-by-step.

g/5 - 7 = -27
Add 7 to each side
g/5 = -27 + 7
g/5 = -20
Multiply both sides by 5
g = -20(5)
g = -100

g / (5 - 7) = -27
evaluate 5 - 7 to get -2
g / - 2 = -27
multiply both side by -2
g = 54

g/(5-7) = -27
so :
g/2=-27
g= 2(-27)
g= -54

Your equation is ambiguous: is it (g / 5) - 7 or g / (5-7) ?
Mathematics is a precise art!

The person above me forgot to keep the negative sign, therefore it should be 54, not -54.

g=54 not -54 like DanE said(negative x negative= positive)
