Answer :
Answer:
j = -1
Step-by-step explanation:
Eliminate parentheses:
-24 -3j = -16 +5j
Add 3j+16
-8 = 8j
Divide by the coefficient of j.
-1 = j
[tex]\rm⇢ \: \: - 3(8 + j) = - 16 + 5j[/tex]
[tex]\rm⇢ \: \: - 24 - 3j = - 16 + 5j[/tex]
[tex]\rm⇢ \: \: 5j + 3j = - 24 + 16[/tex]
[tex]\rm⇢ \: \: 8j = - 8[/tex]
[tex]\rm⇢ \: \: j = - 1[/tex]
