Solving Linear Equations: Variables on Both Sides

Question 3 • AZ-Algebra 1A (MA101)

Which step could be used to help isolate the variable in the following equation?5.6j – 0.12 = 4 + 1.1j

Answer
A
Subtract 0.12 from both sides.
B
Subtract 5.6 from both sides.
C
Subtract 4j from both sides.
D
Subtract 1.1j from both sides.

Explanation

Subtracting 1.1j from both sides combines the variable terms on one side: 5.6j − 1.1j − 0.12 = 4, or 4.5j − 0.12 = 4. This is a useful step toward isolating j. The other choices do not move a variable term from one side to the other.
