Question

What is 1/6d+2/3 = 1/4(d-2)

Answer 1

1/6d + 2/3 = 1/4(d - 2)

First, simplify
`(1)/(6) d` to
`(d)/(6)` / Your problem should look like:
`(d)/(6)` +
`(2)/(3)` =
`(1)/(4)` (d - 2)
Second, simplify
`(1)/(4) (d - 2)` to
`(d-2)/(4)` / Your problem should look like:
`(d)/(6)` +
`(2)/(3)` =
`(d-2)/(4)`
Third, multiply both sides by 12 (the LCM of 6,4) / Your problem should look like: 2d + 8 = 3(d - 2)
Fourth, expand. / Your problem should look like: 2d + 8 = 3d - 6
Fifth, subtract 2d from both sides. / Your problem should look like: 8 = 3d - 6 - 2d
Sixth, simplify 3d - 6 - 2d to d - 6 / Your problem should look like: 8 = d - 6
Seventh,add 6 to both sides. / Your problem should look like: 8 + 6 = d
Eighth, simplify 8 + 6 to 14 / Your problem should look like:14 = d
Ninth, switch sides. / Your problem should look like: d = 14

Answer: d = 14
