There are two ways:

1.   (42,000 * 3)/5 =

126000/5 =

25200

2.    42000/5 =

8400*3 =

25200

Now subtract 25200 from original

42000 - 25200 = 16800

16800 votes were not for the winner

To get rid of the 2/5 next to the g, multiply both sides by the RECIPROCAL of 2/5, which would be 5/2.
The answer is g=15/10, which simplifies to g=1 5/10 and then further simplifies (wow so much simplifying) to get g=1 1/2.
