Q. Solve for jj.\newline6=3(j−7)−(−6)6 = 3(j - 7) - (-6)\newlinej=j = _____
  1. Remove double negative: Simplify the equation by removing the double negative. \newline6=3(j−7)+66 = 3(j - 7) + 6
  2. Combine like terms: Combine like terms on the right side.\newline6−6=3(j−7)6 - 6 = 3(j - 7)
  3. Simplify left side: Simplify the left side.\newline0=3(j−7)0 = 3(j - 7)
  4. Isolate variable: Divide both sides by 33 to isolate (j−7)(j - 7). \newline0/3=(j−7)0 / 3 = (j - 7)
  5. Simplify division: Simplify the division.\newline0=j−70 = j - 7
  6. Solve for j: Add 77 to both sides to solve for jj.\newline0+7=j0 + 7 = j
