solve for j.\n2(j - 12.3) - 7.6 = 4.8\nj =

Answer:

$17.5$

Explanation:

Step1: Simplify the left side

$$ \begin{align*} 2(j - 12.3)-7.6&=4.8\ 2j-24.6 - 7.6&=4.8\ 2j-32.2&=4.8 \end{align*} $$

Step2: Isolate the term with (j)

Add (32.2) to both sides: $$ \begin{align*} 2j-32.2 + 32.2&=4.8+ 32.2\ 2j&=37 \end{align*} $$

Step3: Solve for (j)

Divide both sides by (2): $$ \begin{align*} j&=\frac{37}{2}\ j& = 17.5 \end{align*} $$
