How do you solve #6 + 2(3j - 2) = 4(1 + j) #? Algebra Linear Equations Multi-Step Equations with Like Terms 1 Answer Professor Sam May 10, 2017 #1 = j# Explanation: #6 + 2(3j - 2 ) = 4(1 + j)# # 6 + 6j - 4 = 4 + 4j# #6j + 6 = 4 + 4 + 4j# #6j + 6 = 8 + 4j# #6j = 8 - 6 + 4j# #6j = 2 + 4j# Since #(x + 1)j = j + xj# #6j = 2j + 4j# #therefore 2 = 2j# #j = 2/2 = 1# Answer link Related questions How do you solve multi step equations by combining like terms?
