Answer

$g=-\frac{1}{3}$

Work Step by Step

$\begin{align*} g-\frac{1}{3}+\frac{1}{3}&=-\frac{2}{3}+\frac{1}{3} &\text{Add } \frac{1}{3} \text{ to both sides of of the equation.}\\ \\g&=-\frac{1}{3} &\text{Simplify.} \end{align*}$ Thus, the solution is $g=-\frac{1}{3}$. Check the solution by substituting $-\frac{1}{3}$ to $g$ in the original equation: $\begin{align*} -\frac{1}{3}-\frac{1}{3}&\stackrel{?}{=}-\frac{2}{3}\\ -\frac{2}{3}&\stackrel{\checkmark}{=}-\frac{2}{3} \end{align*}$
