Question

What is the solution to (5d+8)=3(8-d)

Answer 1

Answer:

d=2

Step-by-step explanation:

We can simplify both sides, by removing both parentheses, and using the distributive property on the other side.

5d+8=24-3d

Next, we add 3d to both sides, like so:

8d+8=24

Then we can subtract 8 from both sides, then simplify for d.

8d=16

d=2
