Question

Solve

1.5d+9.75=1+2.75

the solution is d=

Answer 1

d= -4

Explanation:

1.5d + 9.75 = 1 +2.75

simplify the right hand side:

1 + 2.75 = 3.75

you get:

1.5d + 9.75 = 3.75

isolate 1.5d, subtract 9.75 on both sides:

1.5d = -6

divide by 1.5 on both sides to get d by itself:

d= -4

Answer 2

d=-4

Explanation:

1.5d+9.75=1+2.75

1) Combine alike terms on the right side of the equation:

1.5d+9.75=3.75

2) Subtract 9.75 from both sides:

1.5d=-6

3) Divide both sides by 1.5:

d=-4
