j= -2

Step-by-step explanation

given


-69=11j-47

to solve for j, we need to isolate it,so

Step 1

a) apply the addition property of equality and add 47 in both sides


\begin{gathered} -69=11j-47 \\ add\text{ 47 in both sides} \\ -69+47=11j-47+47 \\ -22=11j \end{gathered}

Step 2

now, use the division property of equality and divide both sides by 11


\begin{gathered} -22=11j \\ divide\text{ both sides by 11} \\ (-22)/(11)=(11j)/(11) \\ -2=j \end{gathered}

so, the answer is

j= -2

I hope this helps you
