Question

Solve for d. 12−34(d+16)=−5

Answer 1

Answer:

d=−31/2

Explanation:

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

12−34(d+16)=−5

12+(−34)(d)+(−34)(16)=−5(Distribute)

12+−34d+−544=−5

(−34d)+(12+−544)=−5(Combine Like Terms)

−34d+−532=−5

−34d−532=−5

Step 2: Add 532 to both sides.

−34d−532+532=−5+532

−34d=527

Step 3: Divide both sides by -34.

−34d/-34 = 527/-34

d=−31/2
