And so what am I going to get? On the left-hand side, I'm going to have negative 1/3 + 10/3, which is 9/3. I have to add 10/3 to both sides of the equation. If this is equal to that, in order for the quantity to be true, whatever I do to this I have to do to that as well. Now I can't just do that to one side of the equation. So I want to get rid of this negative 10/3, and the best way I can think of doing that is by adding 10/3.
Since it's already on the right-hand side, let's try to get all the things that involve j on the right-hand side, and then get rid of everything else on the right-hand side. So what I like to do, I like to isolate the variable that I'm trying to solve for on one side. What j would make this equation true? Alright. So I encourage you to pause the video and see if you could solve for j. And this equation clearly involves fractions.
Let's get some practice solving equations that involve fractions and decimals.
