Question

-9=j/5-14

Answer 1

Are we solving for j?

Answer 2

yes

Answer 3

What you want to do is find the value of j. In order to do that, you need to get j by itself
add 14 to both sides...
-9=j/5-14
-9+14=j/5-14+14
5=j/5
multiply both sides by 5...
5=j/5
5*5=(j/5)*5
25=5j/5
Simplify the 5 on the j side
25=j
