Question 540998
{{{3(5j+2)=2(3j-6)}}} Start with the given equation.



{{{15j+6=6j-12}}} Distribute.



{{{15j=6j-12-6}}} Subtract {{{6}}} from both sides.



{{{15j-6j=-12-6}}} Subtract {{{6j}}} from both sides.



{{{9j=-12-6}}} Combine like terms on the left side.



{{{9j=-18}}} Combine like terms on the right side.



{{{j=(-18)/(9)}}} Divide both sides by {{{9}}} to isolate {{{j}}}.



{{{j=-2}}} Reduce.

Answer:


So the solution is {{{j=-2}}}
