Multiply both sides by negative four to get rid of the fraction
j+18=-32
subtract 18
j=-50

Answer:
-5 =x
Step-by-step explanation:
3^(x-1) = 9^(x+2)
Replace 9 with 3^2
3^(x-1) = 3^2^(x+2)
We know that a power to a power means the powers are multiplied
a^b^c = a^(b*c)
3^(x-1) = 3^(2x+2)
When the bases are the same, the powers have to be the same
x-1 = 2x+4
Subtract x from each side
x-x-1 =2x-x+4
-1 =x+4
Subtract 4 from each side
-1-4 =x+4-4
-1-4 = x
-5 =x
Multiply the number in the tens place of the bottom
number by the number in ones place of the top number. So
multiply the 1 by the 5, which makes 5. Multiply the number in
the tens place of the bottom number by the number in tens
place of the top number. Multiply 1 by 2, which equals 2.
