Question

9(8d-5)+13=12d-2 solve with steps

Answer 1

d=1/2

Explanation:

9(8d-5)+13=12d-2

1) Use the distributive property:

72d-45+13=12d-2

2) Combine alike terms:

72d-32=12d-2

3) Add 32 to both sides:

72d=12d+30

4) Subtract 12d on both sides:

60d=30

5) Divide both sides by 60:

d=30/60

6) Simplify 30/60 to 1/2
