-d%2F5-21=-62 Start with the given equation.


5%28-d%2Fcross%285%29-21%29=5%28-62%29 Multiply both sides by the LCD 5 to clear any fractions.


-d-105=-310 Distribute and multiply.


-d=-310%2B105 Add 105 to both sides.


-d=-205 Combine like terms on the right side.


d=%28-205%29%2F%28-1%29 Divide both sides by -1 to isolate d.


d=205 Reduce.

Answer:

So the solution is d=205
