Solution - Linear equations with one unknown

Step by step solution :

Step  1  :

            1
 Simplify   —
            3

Equation at the end of step  1  :

  1
  — • (3j + 6)  = 0 
  3

Step  2  :

Step  3  :

Pulling out like terms :

 3.1     Pull out like factors :

   3j + 6  =   3 • (j + 2) 

Equation at the end of step  3  :

  j + 2  = 0 

Step  4  :

Solving a Single Variable Equation :

 4.1      Solve  :    j+2 = 0 

 Subtract  2  from both sides of the equation : 
                      j = -2
