Evaluate
5j−19j
Collect like terms by calculating the sum or difference of their coefficients
(5−19)j
Subtract the numbers
−14j
−14j−126=0
Move the constant to the right side
−14j=0+126
Removing 0 doesn't change the value,so remove it from the expression
−14j=126
Change the signs on both sides of the equation
14j=−126
Divide both sides
1414j=14−126
Divide the numbers
j=14−126
