Hi there! Hopefully this helps!

Answer: j = -7

You can also rewrite the equation(replace "j" with the answer):

-1.68(-7) + 1.24 = 13.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

How I solved it:

-1.68j + 1.24 = 13.

We subtract 1.24 from both sides.

-1.68j = 13 - 1.24

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

-1.68j = 13 - 1.24

We subtract 1.24 from 13 to get 11.76.

-1.68j = 11.76

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

-1.68j = 11.76

We then divide both sides by -1.68.

j =
`(11.76)/(-1.68)`

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Expand
`(11.76)/(-1.68)` ≈ -7 by multiplying both the numerator and the denominator by 100.

j =
`(1176)/(-168)`

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Divide 1176 by -168 to get -7.
