Answer:-25

Explanation:

(j)/5+1=-4 - subtract 1 from both sides

(j)/5= -5 - multiply both sides by 5

j = -25 - plug -25 back in to check your answer.

Answer:
j=-25

Explanation:

Given the equation
(j)/(5)+1=-4, you need to:

Apply the Subtraction property of equality and subtract 1 from both sides of the equation:


(j)/(5)+1-(1)=-4-(1)


(j)/(5)=-5

Now, apply the Multiplication property of equality and mutiply both sides of the equation by 5:


(5)((j)/(5))=(-5)(5)

Therefore, the solution of this equation is:


j=-25
