Respuesta :

(j/2) + 7 = -12 // Given
(j/2) + 7 - 7 = -12 - 7 // Subtraction Property of Equality
(j/2) = -19 // Simplify
(j/2) • 2 = -19 • 2 // Multiplication Property of Addition
j = -38

If you have any questions about the process, let me know

The required value of j is 38.

What are linear equation?

A linear equation only has one or two variables. No variables in a linear equation is raised to power greater than 1 or used as denominator of a fraction.

Now the given expression is

j/-2 + 7 =-12

Substracting 7 both the side. We get,

j/-2 + 7 -7 = -12 - 7

Solving both sides,

j/-2 = -19

Now multiplying whole equation with -2,so the equation becomes

j = 38

which is the required value of j.

Hence,the required value of j is 38.
