Answer

$j=-18$

Work Step by Step

Use the Division Property of Equality by dividing $6\pi$ to both sides of the equation: $$\begin{align*} -\frac{108\pi}{6\pi}&=\frac{6\pi{j}}{6\pi}\\ -18&=j\end{align*}$$ Check the solution by substituting $-18$ to the variable in the given equation: $$\begin{align*} -108\pi&=6j\\ -108\pi&\stackrel{?}{=}6\pi(-18)\\ -108\pi&\stackrel{\checkmark}{=}-108\pi\end{align*}$$ Thus, the solution is $j=-18$.
