#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#
