Q. Solve for jj.\newline5j=0|-5j| = 0\newlineWrite your answers as integers or as proper or improper fractions in simplest form.\newlinej=j = _____ or j=j = _____
  1. Understand absolute value equation: Understand the absolute value equation.\newlineThe equation 5j=0|-5j| = 0 means that the absolute value of 5j-5j is equal to 00.
  2. Solve absolute value equation: Solve the absolute value equation.\newlineSince the absolute value of any number is non-negative and the only number whose absolute value is 00 is 00 itself, we can conclude that 5j-5j must be equal to 00.
  3. Isolate variable jj: Isolate the variable jj. To find the value of jj, we divide both sides of the equation by 5–5. 5j/5=0/5–5j / –5 = 0 / –5 j=0j = 0
  4. Check for other solutions: Check for any other possible solutions.\newlineSince the absolute value of a number can be positive or negative, we typically check for two solutions. However, in this case, since 00 is the only number that has an absolute value of 00, there is only one solution.\newlinej=0j = 0
