x^{2}+8+xj+2j=0
Use the distributive property to multiply x+2 by j.
8+xj+2j=-x^{2}
Subtract x^{2} from both sides. Anything subtracted from zero gives its negation.
xj+2j=-x^{2}-8
Subtract 8 from both sides.
\left(x+2\right)j=-x^{2}-8
Combine all terms containing j.
\frac{\left(x+2\right)j}{x+2}=\frac{-x^{2}-8}{x+2}
Divide both sides by x+2.
j=\frac{-x^{2}-8}{x+2}
Dividing by x+2 undoes the multiplication by x+2.
j=-\frac{x^{2}+8}{x+2}
Divide -x^{2}-8 by x+2.
