#j=0#

This requires a lot of moving around and negative knowledge.

#-4j+14=-2(2j-7)#

First, we must expand the brackets:

#-2(2j-7) = -4j^2+14#

Then we can move on to changing the numbers around (remember to change the signs:

#-4j+14=-4j^2+14#

#-4j+4j^2=-14+14#

And then simplify from there:

#j=0#

Hope this helped.
