Answer
Success!
j=41
↓Steps Explained:↓
Solve for j
j - 4 + j + 5 + j = 124
Group the j terms on the left:
(1 + 1 + 1)j = 3j
Group the constants on the left
-4 + 5 = 1
Form modified equation
3j + 1 = + 124
Group constants
Group our constants 1 and 124.
subtract 1 from both sides
3j + 1 - 1 = 124 - 1
Cancel 1 on the left side:
3j = 123
Divide each side of the equation by 3
| 3j | |
| 3 |
| = |
| 123 |
| 3 |
j = 41
