Answer:j=-8 I hope this helps

Explanation:

1-j/4=3

Multiply both sides of the equation by 4

which gives you

4-j=12

Move the constant to the right-hand side and change its sign
-j=12-4

Subtract the numbers

-j=8

Change the signs on both sides of the equation

j=-8 - This is your answer

Answer:

j = - 8

Explanation:

1 - j/4 - 3

1 is also 4/4

so

4/4 - j/4 = 3

4 - j/ 4= 3

multiply by 4 on both sides

which gets you

-j + 4 = 12

minus 4 from both sides

-j = 8

j = -8
