Solve for j -2j=-j-6

$- 2 j = - j - 6$

Move all terms containing $j$ to the left side of the equation.

Add $j$ to both sides of the equation.

$- 2 j + j = - 6$

Add $- 2 j$ and $j$ .

$- j = - 6$

Divide each term in $- j = - 6$ by $- 1$ and simplify.

Divide each term in $- j = - 6$ by $- 1$ .

$\frac{- j}{- 1} = \frac{- 6}{- 1}$

Simplify the left side.

Dividing two negative values results in a positive value.

$\frac{j}{1} = \frac{- 6}{- 1}$

Divide $j$ by $1$ .

$j = \frac{- 6}{- 1}$
