To solve for j, we need to combine like terms and isolate j.
Starting with the given equation:
8j - 5 + j = 67
To combine like terms, we add the coefficients of j:
(8 + 1)j - 5 = 67
This simplifies to:
9j - 5 = 67
To isolate j, we will add 5 to both sides:
9j = 72
Finally, to solve for j, we will divide both sides by 9:
j = 72/9
The solution is:
j = 8
Solve for j:
8j – 5 + j = 67
