Q. Solve the following equation for j. Be sure to take into account whether a letter is capitalized or not.−n+j=qAnswer: j=
Identify Goal: Identify the goal.We need to solve the equation for j.
Isolate Variable: Isolate the variable j. To isolate j, we need to move −n to the other side of the equation. −n+j=q Add n to both sides of the equation. −n+n+j=q+nj=q+n
Check Solution: Check the solution.Substitute j back into the original equation to verify the solution.−n+(q+n)=q−n+n+q=qq=qThe solution checks out.
