See a solution process below:

Explanation:

Multiply each side of the equation by #color(red)(16)# to solve for #g# while keeping the equation balanced:

#color(red)(16) xx g/16 = color(red)(16) xx 6/4#

#cancel(color(red)(16)) xx g/color(red)(cancel(color(black)(16))) = cancel(color(red)(16))4 xx 6/color(red)(cancel(color(black)(4)))#

#g = 4 xx 6#

#g = 24#
