Question

Pleas please help! Solve for d. 3/15 - d/5 = 5/6 + d/3

Answer 1

$\frac{3}{15}$-<u />$\frac{d}{5}$-($\frac{5}{6}$+$\frac{d}{3}$=0

Step 1:<u />$\frac{5}{6}$+$\frac{d}{3}$=<u /><u />$\frac{3}{15}- \frac{d}{5}- \frac{(2d+5)}{6}=0$

Step 2:$\frac{1}{5}- \frac{d}{5}= \frac{(1-d)}{5}- \frac{(2d+5)}{6}=0$

Step 3:$\frac{(1-d)*6-(2d+5)*5}{30}= \frac{-1*(16d+19)}{30}$

Step 4:$16d= -19:Divide \ both \ sides \ by \ 16:d= \frac{-19}{16}= -1.188$

Your answer is <u />$d\boxed{\boxed={ \frac{-19}{16}= -1.1888}}}}$

Answer 2

3/15 -(d/5)=5/6+(d/3)
-(d/5)-(d/3)=5/6-3/15

-(8d/15)=19/30
-8d=19/2
-d=76
d=-76
