Q. Solve for j. 22j2−17j=0Write each solution as an integer, proper fraction, or improper fraction in simplest form. If there are multiple solutions, separate them with commas. j= ____
Factor GCF and Equate: Factor out the greatest common factor (GCF) from the equation 22j2−17j=0. The GCF of 22j2 and 17j is j. Factor out j from each term. j(22j−17)=0
Set Factors Equal: Set each factor equal to zero and solve for j. First, set j=0. j=0 This is one solution. Next, set the other factor equal to zero. 22j−17=0
Solve for j: Solve for j in the equation 22j−17=0. Add 17 to both sides of the equation to isolate the term with j. 22j−17+17=0+1722j=17 Now, divide both sides by 22 to solve for j. j=2217 This is the second solution.
