Answer:
d=12
Explanation:
1/8(3d-2)=1/4(d+5)
1) Distribute the 1/8 to 3d and -2:
3/8d-1/4=1/4(d+5)
2) Distribute the 1/4 to d and 5:
3/8d-1/4=1/4d+5/4
3) Add 1/4 to both sides:
3/8d=1/4d+3/2
4) Subtract 1/4d from both sides:
1/8d=3/2
5) Multiply both sides by the reciprocal of 1/8: (8/1)
d=24/2
6) Simplify the fraction:
d=12
