The answer is 3.25 or 3 1/4
Answer:
5(d - 2) = 45
Step-by-step explanation:
Solve the given equation for d
3(d + 1) = 4(d - 2) ← distribute parenthesis on both sides
3d + 3 = 4d - 8 ( subtract 3d from both sides )
3 = d - 8 ( add 8 to both sides )
11 = d
Then
5(d - 2) = 5(11 - 2) = 5(9) = 45
Hey there!
A reciprocal might be an unfamiliar vocab word, but the concept is really quite simple.
It's just a flipped fraction! Multiplying the flipped fraction by it's reciprocal gets you one, and that's how you check your answer.
So we have:
Reciprocal of 9/10 is 10/9, because 9/10 times 10/9 = 90/90 = 1
Reciprocal of 1/11 is 11/1, because 1/11 times 11/1 = 11/11 = 1
Reciprocal of 10(remember, it's 10/1) is 1/10, because 10/1 times 1/10 = 10/10 = 1
Hope this helps!
