    j = - 99

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Distribute:

    -3 (j + 82) = 51

    -3 (j) - 3 (82) = 51

    Multiply:

    -3 (j) - 3 (82) = 51

    -3j - 246 = 51

    Add 246 on both sides:

    -3j - 246 = 51

    +246 + 246

    -3j = 297

    Divide by - 2 on both sides:

    -3j = 297

    /-3 / -3

    j = - 99

    j = - 99

    Step-by-step explanation:

    -3 (j+82) = 51

    Divide by - 3

    -3/-3 (j+82) = 51/-3

    j+82 = - 17

    Subtract 82 from each side

    j+82-82 = - 17-82

    j = - 99
