1/2x=4
The dependence or independence of a variable does not have a bearing on its position in a fraction.
"Solve an equation" means "find out, for which values of the variable or variables is the equation true".
It appears to be a linear equation in the variable, g.It appears to be a linear equation in the variable, g.It appears to be a linear equation in the variable, g.It appears to be a linear equation in the variable, g.
It is a variable fraction, NOT an algebraic fraction.
A fraction.
You solve the equation the same way as you would any other equation. Whether the variable is a fraction or otherwise will only become clear once you solve the equation. In other words, you don't initially KNOW whether the solution will be a fraction or not.

substitution
Find values for the variable that satisfy the equation, that is if you replace those values for the variable into the original equation, the equation becomes a true statement.
The equation for slope = rise / run
You find, or construct, an equation or set of equations which express the unknown variable in terms of other variables. Then you solve the equation(s), using algebra.You find, or construct, an equation or set of equations which express the unknown variable in terms of other variables.

The goal is to find what value or values the variable may have, to make the equation true.
It is a variable fraction. The exact nature will depend on the form in which the variable appears:as part of an algebraic, trigonometric, etc function. In some cases the fraction will have a name, in others it will not.
Any time you have a variable in the numerator or denominator in an equation, you multiply by the number where ever its on the fraction to both sides of the equation.
