Subtract 8d from both sides
21 = 12d + 5 - 8d
Simplify 12d + 5 - 8d to 4d + 5
21 = 4d + 5
Subtract 5 from both sides
21 - 5 = 4d
Simplify 21 - 5 to 16
16 = 4d
Divide both side by 4
16/4 = d
Simplify 16/4 to 4
4 = d
Switch sides
d = 4
<u>Check answer</u>
8d + 21 =12d + 5
Let d = 4
8 × 4 + 21 = 12 × 4 + 5
Simplify 8 × 4 to 32
32 + 21 = 12 × 4 + 5
Simplify 12 × 4 to 48
32 + 21 = 48 + 5
Simplify 32 + 21 to 53
53 = 48 + 5
Simplify 48 + 5 to 53
53 = 53
Answer:
(11,-28)
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
$0.28
Step-by-step explanation:
A. -3 < x < 1
b. x < = 4 or x > = 6
Answer: x ≥ 6
<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>
12 less <u>than</u> 5 times a number ≥ 6 more <u>than</u> twice the number
5x - 12 ≥ 2x + 6
Note: the word "than" switches the order of the terms.
5x - 12 ≥ 2x + 6
<u>-2x +12</u> <u>-2x +12 </u>
3x ≥ 18
<u>÷3 </u> <u> ÷3 </u>
x ≥ 6
