Question

Solve.

3 + j / 11 = 2


j =__________

Answer 1

j would equal -11
first subtract 3 so 2 is -1
then divide -1 by 11
so j=-11

Answer 2

This is how you solve it:

3 + j / 11 = 2

3 + j = 2 × 11

3 + j = 22

j = 22 - 3

j = 19

Now you could check your answer by substituting the value of j :

3 + j / 11 = 2

3 + 19 / 11 = 2

22/11 = 2

2 = 2
