Question

Please help I need help on this question.

-5(3d+8)=35



I got -5 and I’m not sure if it’s correct.

Answer 1

Answer: -5

Step-by-step explanation: -5(3d+8)=35 simplifies to -15d-40=35 by using the distributive property

Add 40 to both sides: -40+40=0 35+40=75

Divide both sides by -15: -15d÷(-15)=d 75÷(-15)= -5

d=-5

Answer 2

-5

Explanation:

distribute

-5 x 3d + (-5) x 8

-15d + (-40) = 35

Subtract -40 by 35

-15d = 75

Divide -15 by 75

d = -5

You were correct! :)
