Question

solve for j.
-3 - 9j = -2j - 10
j = \boxed{}

Explanation:

Step1: Add 9j to both sides

To get all the j terms on one side, we add \(9j\) to both sides of the equation \(-3 - 9j = -2j - 10\). This gives us \(-3 = 7j - 10\).

Step2: Add 10 to both sides

Next, we add 10 to both sides to isolate the term with j. So, \(-3 + 10 = 7j\), which simplifies to \(7 = 7j\).

Step3: Divide by 7

Finally, we divide both sides by 7 to solve for j. \(\frac{7}{7}=j\), so \(j = 1\).

Answer:

\(1\)
