Solve for j.
j + 42
---------- =2
-7
what does j eqaul​

Answer 1

Answer:

The value of $j$:

$j = -56$

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve for $j$:

$\frac{j + 42}{-7} = 2$

-Multiply both sides by -7:

$j + 42 = 2 ( -7)$

$j + 42 = -14$

-Subtract both sides by 42:

$j + 42 - 42 = -14 - 42$

$j = -56$

So, therefore, $x = -56$ would be the final answer.

Answer 2

Answer:

j = -47

Step-by-step explanation:

I think you meant  j + 42 - 2 = -7

So what I would do is first find the two number we know which would be

42 - 2 = 40

So, then the equation comes down to j + 40 = -7

So,

j = -47

Because = -47 + 40 = -7

Have a good day. :)
