Question 483382: I need help solving this literal equation for x. I need to show all work. I would appreciate it if you can help me. d^2 - 4 (x+2) = d(x-2) Answer by stanbon(75887) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! d^2 - 4 (x+2) = d(x-2)
---
Get the "x" terms on one side:
----
d(x-2)+4(x+2) = d^2
---
Factor:
(x+2)(d+4) = d^2
---
Solve for "x":
x+2 = d^2/(d+4)
---
x = [d^2/(d+4)]-2
