Q. How many solutions does this equation have?−5−2j=−2jChoices:(A) no solution(B) one solution(C) infinitely many solutions
Simplify equation by isolating terms: Simplify the equation by isolating terms involving j.−5−2j=−2j Add 2j to both sides to eliminate j from the right side.−5−2j+2j=−2j+2j−5=0
Add terms to eliminate j: Analyze the simplified equation.\-5 = 0 is a false statement, indicating no value of j can satisfy the equation.
