Question

The solution of the equation 2d - 6 = 5 is _____.

Answer 1

$2d-6=5\\\\Add\ 6\ on\ both\ sides.\\\\2d=11\\\\Divide\ by\ 2\ on\ both\ sides.\\\\d= \frac{11}{2}\\\\d=5\frac{1}{2}$

$\sf\ Answer:\ {\boxed{d=5\frac{1}{2}}}$

Answer 2

If you would like to solve the equation 2 * d - 6 = 5, you can do this using the following steps:

2 * d - 6 = 5
2 * d = 5 + 6
2 * d = 11    /2
d = 11/2
d = 5 1/2

The correct result would be 5 1/2.
