Answer:
(1) For x = –12, g (x) = -9
For x = –9, g (x) = -3
For x = –6, g (x) = 3
For x = –3, g (x) = 9

If you do not mind me asking, what did Seth write? Us helpers cannot answer it if we do not have the full question. I apologize if this seems rude.
You'll find it easier to understand if you illustrate the problem as what is shown in the attached picture. From the illustration and the problem description, two equations can be formulated:
HJ = 2JK
HJ + JK = HK
2JK + JK = 78
3JK = 78
JK = 78/3
JK = 26
