To solve for j, the first step is to get rid of the -5 by adding it to both sides to get:
8j+j=72
Then, add like things, which would be 8j and j (aka 1j) to get:
9j=72
Finally, divide both sides by 9 to get the answer, which is:
j=8
8j+j=72
Then, add like things, which would be 8j and j (aka 1j) to get:
9j=72
Finally, divide both sides by 9 to get the answer, which is:
j=8
8j−5+j=67
Step 1: Simplify the equation.8j−5+j=67
Simplify again:8j+−5+j=67(8j+j)+(−5)=67(Combine Like Terms)9j+−5=679j−5=67
Step 2: Add 5 to both sides9j−5+5=67+59j=72
Step 3: Divide both sides by 99j9=729
j=8
Step 1: Simplify the equation.8j−5+j=67
Simplify again:8j+−5+j=67(8j+j)+(−5)=67(Combine Like Terms)9j+−5=679j−5=67
Step 2: Add 5 to both sides9j−5+5=67+59j=72
Step 3: Divide both sides by 99j9=729
j=8
