#g=92/21#

Explanation:

#26 - 142 = -42g + 68#
#-116 = -42g + 68#
You wanna make sure that the letter we are solving for leads the equation. In order to do that, we need to *flip the equation
#-42g + 68 = -116#
Then subtract #68# from both sides
#-42g + 68 - 68 = -116-68#
#-42g = -184#
Then divide both sides by #-42#
#(-42g)/(-42)=(-184)/(-42)#
#g=92/21#
