Q. Solve for jj.\newline2j=6-2|j| = -6\newlineWrite your answers as integers or as proper or improper fractions in simplest form.\newlinej=j = _____ or j=j = _____
  1. Isolate absolute value term: Isolate the absolute value term.\newlineTo find the value of j|j|, we need to isolate it by dividing both sides of the equation by 2-2.\newline2j/2=6/2-2|j| / -2 = -6 / -2\newlinej=3|j| = 3
  2. Solve for j: Solve for j.\newlineThe absolute value equation j=3|j| = 3 means that jj can be either 33 or 3-3 because the absolute value of both 33 and 3-3 is 33.\newlineSo, j=3j = 3 or j=3j = -3.
