Answer

$j = 175$

Work Step by Step

$35 = \frac{j}{5}$ We need to isolate the variable $j$ by multiplying through by $5$ as shown below: $35 \times 5 = \frac{j}{5} \times 5$ Simplify to get: $175 = j$ Rearranging the equation we have: $j = 175$ Therefore, the equation has a possible solution at $j = 175$
