I checked my answer and it doesnt come out right
(-3J-(-3))/-6=12
oppps I mean
(-3J-(-4))/-6=12
So what was your answer. Mine checks.
25.3
To solve this equation, we need to simplify the expression on the left side step by step.
First, let's simplify the expression inside the parentheses:
(-3J - (-3)) becomes (-3J + 3)
So, the equation becomes:
(-3J + 3)/-6 = 12
Now, let's simplify further by multiplying both sides of the equation by -6 to eliminate the fraction:
(-6)((-3J + 3)/-6) = 12 * -6
The -6 in the numerator cancels out with the -6 in the denominator, leaving us with:
-3J + 3 = -72
Next, we can simplify the equation by subtracting 3 from both sides to isolate the variable term:
-3J + 3 - 3 = -72 - 3
-3J = -75
Finally, divide both sides of the equation by -3 to solve for J:
-3J / -3 = -75 / -3
J = 25
Therefore, the value of J that satisfies the equation is 25.
