Answer: d=8
Explanation:
In order to solve do the opposite of order of operations (PEMDAS), so you would start by subtracting 5 from both sides.
So your equation will look like:
5+4d=37
-5 -5
The fives on the left side of the equation cancel out, and then on the right side just solve 37-5.
Now the equation should look like:
4d= 32
Divide both sides by 4 in order to get d by itself.
4d/4 =32/4
On the left side of the equation the 4 cancels out, and then solve 32/4.
Then equation should look like:
d=8
There is your answer.
If you wish to check your answer to see if it is correct you can always plug your answer back into the problem.
Like so:
5+4(8)=37
Then solve starting with 4(8)
5+32=37
Then solve 5+32
32=32
Since the statement is true the answer is correct.
