Question

D-1/2=5/12 what is d??

Answer 1

d =
`(11)/(12)`

Explanation:

1) To solve for d, isolate it in the equation. So, to get rid of the
`-(1)/(2)` with the d, add
`(1)/(2)` to both sides.

`d-(1)/(2) = (5)/(12) \\d - (1)/(2) +(1)/(2) = (5)/(12) + (6)/(12) \\d = (11)/(12)`

Thus, d =
`(11)/(12)`.
