Solve -5j-12 -8j - ScanMath

Evaluate

- 5 j - 12 - 8 j

To find the roots of the expression,set the expression equal to 0

- 5 j - 12 - 8 j = 0

Subtract the terms

More Steps

- 13 j - 12 = 0

Move the constant to the right-hand side and change its sign

- 13 j = 0 + 12

Removing 0 doesn't change the value,so remove it from the expression

- 13 j = 12

Change the signs on both sides of the equation

13 j = - 12

Divide both sides

\frac{13 j}{13} = \frac{- 12}{13}

Divide the numbers

j = \frac{- 12}{13}

Solution

j = - \frac{12}{13}

Alternative Form

j = - 0. \dot{9} 2307 \dot{6}
