d is being multiplied by 5.

You want d alone. The opposite operation to multiplication is division.

We must do the same operation to both sides of an equation.

We must divide both sides by 5.


5d = 17.1


(5d)/(5) = (17.1)/(5)

Use a calculator to divide 17.1 by 5. You should get 3.42.


d = 3.42
