How many solutions does this equation have?

-8j = -5j - 3j

1 answer

To solve the equation \(-8j = -5j - 3j\), we can first simplify the right side.

Combine the terms on the right side:

\[ -5j - 3j = -8j \]

Now the equation becomes:

\[ -8j = -8j \]

This statement is always true, meaning that every value of \(j\) satisfies the equation. Therefore, there are infinitely many solutions to the equation.
