Question
Solve the equation
j1=−45,j2=0
Alternative Form
j1=−1.25,j2=0
Evaluate
j4(−4j−5)=0
Separate the equation into 2 possible cases
j4=0−4j−5=0
The only way a power can be 0 is when the base equals 0
j=0−4j−5=0
Solve the equation
More Steps

Evaluate
−4j−5=0
Move the constant to the right-hand side and change its sign
−4j=0+5
Removing 0 doesn't change the value,so remove it from the expression
−4j=5
Change the signs on both sides of the equation
4j=−5
Divide both sides
44j=4−5
Divide the numbers
j=4−5
Use b−a=−ba=−ba to rewrite the fraction
j=−45
j=0j=−45
Solution
