Solve for j. j2 − 36 = 0 Write your answers as integers or as proper or improper fractions in simplest form. j = or j =

1 answer

To solve the equation \( j^2 - 36 = 0 \), we can start by adding 36 to both sides:

\[ j^2 = 36 \]

Next, we take the square root of both sides. Remember that taking the square root can produce both a positive and negative solution:

\[ j = \pm \sqrt{36} \]

Now, since \(\sqrt{36} = 6\), we have:

\[ j = 6 \quad \text{or} \quad j = -6 \]

So the two solutions are:

\[ j = 6 \quad \text{or} \quad j = -6 \]
