Q. Solve for jj.\newline−8j−13=14j+15−18j-8j - 13 = 14j + 15 - 18j\newlinej=j = __
  1. Combine like terms: Combine like terms on the right side of the equation.\newline−8j−13=14j+15−18j-8j - 13 = 14j + 15 - 18j\newline−8j−13=(14j−18j)+15-8j - 13 = (14j - 18j) + 15\newline−8j−13=−4j+15-8j - 13 = -4j + 15
  2. Add jj terms: Add 4j4j to both sides to get all the jj terms on one side.\newline−8j+4j−13=−4j+4j+15-8j + 4j - 13 = -4j + 4j + 15\newline−4j−13=15-4j - 13 = 15
  3. Add 1313: Add 1313 to both sides to isolate the jj term.\newline−4j−13+13=15+13-4j - 13 + 13 = 15 + 13\newline−4j=28-4j = 28
  4. Divide by −4-4: Divide both sides by −4-4 to solve for jj.−4j−4=28−4\frac{-4j}{-4} = \frac{28}{-4}j=−7j = -7
