Question

Solve the equation for j B=8/5(j-33)

Answer 1

`\text{Consider the equation}\\ \\ B=(8)/(5)(j-33)\\ \\ \text{so in order to solve it for j, first we mutliply both sides by 5 to get rid}\\ \text{of the 5 from the right denominator. so we get}\\ \\ 5B=5* (8)/(5)(j-33)\\ \\ \Rightarrow 5B=8(j-33)\\ \\ \text{now to get rid of 8, divide both sides by 8, so we get}\\ \\ (5B)/(8)=(8(j-33))/(8)`

`\Rightarrow (5B)/(8)=(j-33)\\ \\ \text{now we add 33 both sides to get}\\ \\ (5B)/(8)+33=j-33+33\\ \\ \Rightarrow (5B)/(8)+33=j\\ \\ \text{so the equation for j is}\\ \\ j=(5B)/(8)+33 </p><p>`
