Answer:

The value of [tex]j[/tex]:

[tex]j = -56[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve for [tex]j[/tex]:

[tex]\frac{j + 42}{-7} = 2[/tex]

-Multiply both sides by -7:

[tex]j + 42 = 2 ( -7)[/tex]

[tex]j + 42 = -14[/tex]

-Subtract both sides by 42:

[tex]j + 42 - 42 = -14 - 42[/tex]

[tex]j = -56[/tex]

So, therefore, [tex]x = -56[/tex] would be the final answer.

Answer:

j = -47

Step-by-step explanation:

I think you meant  j + 42 - 2 = -7

So what I would do is first find the two number we know which would be

42 - 2 = 40

So, then the equation comes down to j + 40 = -7

So,

j = -47

Because = -47 + 40 = -7

Have a good day. :)
