Answer:

6j^2 - 2j = 9

j^2 -(2/6)j = 9/6

j^2 - (2/6)j + 1/36 = 9/6 + 1 /36

(j - 1/6)^2 = 55/36

j - 1/6 = √55/36

j = (√55/36) + 1/6

j = 1.40

Explanation:

step 1 transpose 9 and it becomes positive.

step two divide everything by 6 so that j^2 has a coefficient of 1.

step 3 make a perfect square.

Then it's just simple calculations to get the answer
