Question

What value of j makes (5+3)j=48

Answer 1

Answer: j=6

Step-by-step explanation: First to get rid of the parentheses we must multiply the variable j times everything in the parentheses.

(5+3)j=48

5j+3j=48

Combine like terms

8j=48

Divide both sides by 8.

8j/8=48/8

j=6

And we have the answer.

Hope this helps!

Answer 2

do whats in brackets first.

5+3=8

then do 48 divided by 8 which is 6

j=6
