\textsf{Hey there!}


\textsf{40 = 8d}


\textsf{FIRST \& LAST step: DIVIDE by 8 on both of your sides}


\mathsf{(40)/(8) = (8d)/(8)}


\mathsf{CANCEL\ out: (8)/(8)\ because\ it\ gives\ you\ 1}


\mathsf{KEEP: (40)/(8)\ because\ that\ helps\ us\ solve\ for\ \bf{d} \textsf{ \ or \ answers\ d}}


\mathsf{\underline{(40)/(8) = 40/8 \rightarrow 5}}


\mathsf{Answer}


\textsf{\bf{d = 5}}\checkmark
