j=-3 and k=2
2 + 5j
-7j
5j - 20j = -8 Therefore, -15j = -8 Therefore, j = -8/-15 Therefore, j = 0.53 recurring (that is, 0.5333..)
It's -5j2 -8j -9

The answer is -7.This is how I solved it:-5j-13=22 taking away (subtracting) 13, is the same as adding a negative13, in algebra, you never subtract, you add negatives instead, so first you change your original equation to this:-5j + -13=22 in algebra, this type of equation is called a 2-step equation. Anyways next you add the opposite of your lonesome number(number without a variable), in this case being the -13, to both sides of the equation. What I mean bt this, is if you have a -13, you add a +13 to BOTH sides of the = sign like this:-5j +(-13 + 13)=22+13 ---> -5j=35 (no need to say + 0) so now that you have that done, you must divide both sides of the equation by the variable term, DON'T FORGET WHETHER IT'S POSITIVE OR NEGATIVE!!! like this(this is just for this specific equation):-5j=35-------- J=-7 the -5 cancels out and 35/-5 =-7, so J=-7 Hope I helped :-)-5 -5
-3
5J because 10/2=5
Sue is 14.Leah is 9.John is 18.L = S - 5J = S + 4L + S + J = 41(S - 5) + S + (S + 4) = 413S - 1 = 413S = 42S = 14PROOF: 14 + 9 + 18 = 41
Let L be the age of Leah, J as the age of John, and S as the age of Sue.Equation 1: S = L - 6Equation 2: J = L + 5Equation 3: L + J = 41Using Equation 3 to get Leah's age:L + J = 41L + (L + 5) = 412L = 41 - 5L = 18Using Equation 2 and substituting L to get John's age:J = L + 5J = 18 + 5J = 23Check using Equation 3, substituting L and J:L + J = 4118 + 23 = 41Using Equation 1 , substituting L to get Sue's age.S = L - 6S = 18 - 6S = 12Sue is 12 years old.Leah is 18 years old.John is 23 years old.
