Break this problem into two subproblems by setting 
(g + -1) equal to 1.414213562 and -1.414213562.

Subproblem 1
g + -1 = 1.414213562

Simplifying
g + -1 = 1.414213562

Reorder the terms:
-1 + g = 1.414213562

Solving
-1 + g = 1.414213562

Solving for variable 'g'.

Move all terms containing g to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '1' to each side of the equation.
-1 + 1 + g = 1.414213562 + 1

Combine like terms: -1 + 1 = 0
0 + g = 1.414213562 + 1
g = 1.414213562 + 1

Combine like terms: 1.414213562 + 1 = 2.414213562
g = 2.414213562

Simplifying
g = 2.414213562

Subproblem 2
g + -1 = -1.414213562

Simplifying
g + -1 = -1.414213562

Reorder the terms:
-1 + g = -1.414213562

Solving
-1 + g = -1.414213562

Solving for variable 'g'.

Move all terms containing g to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '1' to each side of the equation.
-1 + 1 + g = -1.414213562 + 1

Combine like terms: -1 + 1 = 0
0 + g = -1.414213562 + 1
g = -1.414213562 + 1

Combine like terms: -1.414213562 + 1 = -0.414213562
g = -0.414213562

Simplifying
g = -0.414213562

Solution
