Question

Solve for j.

–3(j − 8) + –6 = –9

Answer 1

j = -9

Explanation:

Answer 2

j = 9

Explanation:

Given equation,

→ -3(j - 8) + (-6) = -9

Let's solve for the value of j,

→ -3(j - 8) + (-6) = -9

→ -3j + 24 - 6 = -9

→ -3j + 18 = -9

→ -3j = -9 - 18

→ j = (-27)/(-3)

→ [ j = 9 ]

Hence, the value of j is 9.
