OpenStudy (anonymous):

to isolate j, you add 13.7 to both sides

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you add because you are undoing the subtraction of 13.7 since 13.7 - 13.7 = 0

OpenStudy (youngstudier):

So, do -6.5 + 13.7

OpenStudy (zzr0ck3r):

OpenStudy (trwatkins1):

7.2?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes!!!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Good job!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

13.7 + (-6.5) = 7.2
