Question

2j + j +(j - 3) = 17
2j + j + j - 3 = 17
4j - 3 = 17
what does j=

Answer 1

2j+j+j−3=17
Simplify both sides of the equation.2j+j+j−3=17
Simplify: 2j+j+j+−3=17(2j+j+j)+(−3)=174j+−3=174j−3=17
Add 3 to both sides.4j−3+3=17+34j=20
Divide both sides by 4.‌4j/4 ‌= ‌20/4‌ j = 5

Answer 2

J equals 4.65 hope I helped(:
