Question

Algebraic math
If 4( j + k) - 5 = 16 + (j + k), then j + k = ?
What i'v got so far is:
4 ( j + k) - 5 = 16 + ( j + k)
4j + 4k - 5 = 16 + ( j + k)
am i doing this right?

Answer 1

there is an option where it cannot be determined an answer choice if it matters

Answer 2

yes you can do it this way.

Answer 3

okay but what do i do/can next?

Answer 4

and thanks

Answer 5

get all the j and k on one side and get the constants on the other side. So you have to add 5 to both sides and subtract j and k from both sides

Answer 6

do you still need help with this?

Answer 7

nope thanks
