Question

How do you solve `-3j - (-4)/-6 = 12`?

Answer 1

I found: `j=-38/9`

Explanation:

Remember that `(-4)/-6=4/6=` (dividing top and bottom by `2`) `=2/3`. So you get:
`-3j-2/3=12` let us use `3` as common denominator:
`(-9j-2)/3=36/3` where I had to change the numerators that didn't have the `3`;
cancel the denominators:
`(-9j-2)/cancel(3)=36/cancel(3)`
`-9j-2=36` take the `2` to the right:
`-9j=36+2`
`-9j=38` divide by `-9` both sides:
`j=-38/9`
