Question

Solve for j
j / - 2 + 7 = −12

j =

Answer 1

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.

Answer 2

Answer:

j = 38

Step-by-step explanation:

$\frac{j}{-2} + 7 = -12$

subtract 7 on both sides:

$\frac{j}{-2} + 7 - 7 = -12 - 7$

$\frac{j}{-2} = -19$

multiply -2 on both sides:

$\frac{j}{-2}$ x -2 = -19 x -2

j = 38
