Question

`(j-5)/(6) +1=-2`

need help with this please

Answer 1

j = -13

Explanation:

`(j-5)/(6) + 1 = -2\\`

subtract 1 from both sides:

`(j-5)/(6) + 1 - 1 = -2-1`

`(j-5)/(6) = -3`

multiply both sides by 6:

`((j-5)/(6))*6 = -3*6`

`j-5=-18`

add 5 to both sides:

`j-5+5=-18+5`

j = -13

Answer 2

J =13 you solve for J by simplifying
