1 Answer

  1. To solve for ( j ) in the equation ( 8(3j + 8) + 7 = -10 + 1 + 8j ), we can follow these steps:

    1. Distribute on the left side:

    [

    8 cdot 3j + 8 cdot 8 + 7 = 24j + 64 + 7 = 24j + 71

    ]

    2. Simplify the right side:

    [

    -10 + 1 + 8j = -9 + 8j

    ]

    3. Set the two sides equal:

    [

    24j + 71 = -9 + 8j

    ]

    4. Subtract ( 8j ) from both sides:

    [

    24j – 8j + 71 = -9

    ]

    [

    16j + 71 = -9

    ]

    5. Subtract 71 from both sides:

    [

    16j = -9 – 71

    ]

    [

    16j = -80

    ]

    6. Divide by 16:

    [

    j = frac{-80}{16} = -5

    ]

    Thus, the solution is:

    [

    j = -5

    ]
