Question

J(x) = 3 - x;j (x) = -5

Answer 1

x = 8, j = -0.625

Explanation:

To solve for x, bring the variable to one side, and bring all the remaining values to the other side by applying arithmetic operations on both sides of the equation. Simplify the values to find the result.

j(x) = 3 - x; j (x) = -5

j(8) = 3 - 8; j (x) = -5

To find the missing factor, divide the product by the given factor

(-5)/8 = -0.625

-0.625(8) = -5

Therefore, the answer is x = 8 and j = -0.625.
