1. **State the problem:** Solve the inequality $$2.32j + 2.36 > 7$$ for $$j$$. 2. **Isolate the variable term:** Subtract 2.36 from both sides: $$2.32j + 2.36 - 2.36 > 7 - 2.36$$ $$2.32j > 4.64$$ 3. **Divide both sides by 2.32 to solve for $$j$$:** $$j > \frac{4.64}{2.32}$$ 4. **Simplify the fraction:** $$j > \cancel{\frac{4.64}{2.32}} = 2$$ 5. **Interpret the solution:** The inequality $$j > 2$$ means $$j$$ must be greater than 2. 6. **Compare with the given condition $$j < 2$$:** The solution $$j > 2$$ contradicts $$j < 2$$, so there is no $$j$$ that satisfies both conditions simultaneously. **Final answer:** $$j > 2$$
