Question

Solve the equation. Round your answer to the nearest hundredth.-4 = -1.5j + 3+ 32

Answer 1

Given the equation :

-4 = -1.5 j+ 32

combine like terms

-4 - 32 = -1.5 j

-36 = -1.5j

OR can be written

-1.5 j = -36

Divide both sides by -1.5

$j=\frac{-36}{-1.5}=\frac{36}{1.5}=\frac{36\cdot10}{1.5\cdot10}=\frac{360}{15}=24$

so, the value of j = 24
