Question

What will be the solution for equation 3j+2=1-3j.

(a) \(\frac{-1}{6}\)

(b) \(\frac{1}{6}\)

(c) \(\frac{1}{12}\)

(d) \(\frac{-1}{12}\)

This question was addressed to me in my homework.

My question is based upon Reduce the Given Linear Equations to a Simpler Form topic in portion Linear Equations in One Variable of Mathematics – Class 8

Answer 1

Correct option is (a) \(\frac{-1}{6}\)

The best I can explain: 3j+2=1-3j

∴ 3j+3j=1-2

∴ 6j=-1

∴ j=\(\frac{-1}{6}\).
