Since we have parentheses, let's get rid of them by multiplying.
25(g) - (25)(7) = 3
(I just expanded the parentheses. If you don't understand how I did this, then feel free to ask me!!)
Continue simplifying:
25g - 175 = 3
Leave the variable on one side and the numbers on the other side:
25g = 3 + 175
25g = 178
g =
This is an improper fraction and it cannot be simplified any further since 25 can only be divided by 5 or 25 and 178 can't be divided by 5 or 25.
Since your question is asking for a mixed fraction, let's make it into one. I hope you already know how to do this but as I said, if you don't, then please ask me!
g =
