Question

Solve for j
j / - 2 + 7 = −12

j =

Answer 1

j = 38

Explanation:

`(j)/(-2) + 7 = -12`

subtract 7 on both sides:

`(j)/(-2) + 7 - 7 = -12 - 7`

`(j)/(-2) = -19`

multiply -2 on both sides:

`(j)/(-2)` x -2 = -19 x -2

j = 38

Answer 2

J would equal 38.

Subtract 7 from each side so you get j/-2 = -19

Then multiply each side by -2 to get j by itself and you get 38.
