Question

Solve forj: -69 = 11j - 47

Answer 1

j= -2

Explanation

given

$-69=11j-47$

to solve for j, we need to isolate it,so

Step 1

a) apply the addition property of equality and add 47 in both sides

$\begin{gathered} -69=11j-47 \\ add\text{ 47 in both sides} \\ -69+47=11j-47+47 \\ -22=11j \end{gathered}$

Step 2

now, use the division property of equality and divide both sides by 11

$\begin{gathered} -22=11j \\ divide\text{ both sides by 11} \\ \frac{-22}{11}=\frac{11j}{11} \\ -2=j \end{gathered}$

so, the answer is

j= -2

I hope this helps you
