Answer:

j = 4/3

Explanation:

(2/5)(10j - 25 + 15j) - (3/2)(6j - 4) = -2j

Add like terms inside left set of parentheses.

(2/5)(25j - 25) - (3/2)(6j - 4) = -2j

Distribute 2/5. Distribute 3/2.

(2/5)(25j) - (2/5)(25) - (3/2)(6j) - (3/2)(-4) = -2j

Do all multiplications with fractions.

10j - 10 - 9j + 6 = -2j

Combine like terms on the left side.

j - 4 = -2j

Add 2j to both sides.

3j - 4 = 0

Add 4 to both sides.

3j = 4

Divide both sides by 3.

j = 4/3
