Solve for j j/3-2=2

$\frac{j}{3} - 2 = 2$

Step 1

Move all terms not containing $j$ to the right side of the equation.

Add $2$ to both sides of the equation.

$\frac{j}{3} = 2 + 2$

Add $2$ and $2$ .

$\frac{j}{3} = 4$

Step 2

Multiply both sides of the equation by $3$ .

$3 \frac{j}{3} = 3 \cdot 4$

Step 3

Simplify both sides of the equation.

Simplify the left side.

Cancel the common factor of $3$ .

Cancel the common factor.

$3 \frac{j}{3} = 3 \cdot 4$

Rewrite the expression.

$j = 3 \cdot 4$

Simplify the right side.

Multiply $3$ by $4$ .

$j = 12$
