Solve for j. 2(j - 14) < -2 ______

Distribute 2: Distribute 2 across the terms inside the parentheses. 2(j - 14) < -2 2 * j + 2 * (-14) < -2 2j - 28 < -2Add 28: Add 28 to both sides of the inequality to isolate the term with the variable j. 2j - 28 + 28 < -2 + 28 2j < 26Divide by 2: Divide both sides of the inequality by 2 to solve for j. 2j / 2 < 26 / 2 j < 13

Q. Solve for

j

\newline

2(j - 14) < -2

Distribute $2$ : Distribute $2$ across the terms inside the parentheses. $\newline$ 2(j - 14) < -2 $\newline$ 2 \cdot j + 2 \cdot (-14) < -2 $\newline$ 2j - 28 < -2
Add $28$ : Add $28$ to both sides of the inequality to isolate the term with the variable $j$ . $\newline$ 2j - 28 + 28 < -2 + 28 $\newline$ 2j < 26
Divide by $2$ : Divide both sides of the inequality by $2$ to solve for $j$ . $\newline$ \frac{2j}{2} < \frac{26}{2}j < 13
