Solution - Linear equations with one unknown

Rearrange:

Rearrange the equation by subtracting what is to the right of the equal sign from both sides of the equation :

                -4*j+80*j-41*j-77*j+30-(72)=0 

Step by step solution :

Step  1  :

Pulling out like terms :

 1.1     Pull out like factors :

   -42j - 42  =   -42 • (j + 1) 

Equation at the end of step  1  :

Step  2  :

Equations which are never true :

 2.1      Solve :    -42   =  0

This equation has no solution.
A a non-zero constant never equals zero.

Solving a Single Variable Equation :

 2.2      Solve  :    j+1 = 0 

 Subtract  1  from both sides of the equation : 
                      j = -1
