Double negative means a positive. Therefore, the equation is (5/8)+(7/8), which should equal 1.5, or 3/2, or 1 and 1/2.

5/8-(-7/8)
you multiply what is in the brackets by the negative sign.
5/8+7/8 (it is important to note that 2 negatives make a positive)
5/8+7/8=12/8
12/8=6/4
6/4=3/2
3/2 can also be written as 1 1/2

hope this helps :)

Solve for j.<br>-13j - 20 = -8j + 20​
aleksley [76]

Answer:

j = -8

Step-by-step explanation:

-13j - 20 = -8j + 20​

Add 13 j to each side

-13j+13j - 20 = -8j+13j + 20

-20 = 5j+20

subtract 20 from each side

-20-20 = 5j +20-20

-40 = 5j

Divide by 5

-40/5 = =5j/5

-8 =j
