Question

Seventeen more than seven times a number j is 87

Answer 1

turn this into an equation 17+7j=87 then solve for j subtract 17 on both sides 7j=70 divide by 7 on both sides so j=10

- hope this helps!:)

Answer 2

7j + 17 = 87

Subtract 17 from both sides.

7j = 70

Divide both sides by 7.

j = 10
