Question

Solve for j jj. j − 2 + 7 = − 12 −2 j ​ +7=

Answer 1

j= -10/3

Explanation:

j - 2 + 7 = - 12 - 2j + 7

*add -2 and 7 to get 5

j + 5 = -12 - 2j + 7

*add -12 and 7 to get -5

j + 5 = -5 - 2j

*add 2j to both sides

3j + 5 = -5

*subtract 5 from both sides

3j = -10

*divide both sides by 3

j= -10/3
