Question 548867
{{{4(3d-2)=8d-5}}} Start with the given equation.



{{{12d-8=8d-5}}} Distribute.



{{{12d=8d-5+8}}} Add {{{8}}} to both sides.



{{{12d-8d=-5+8}}} Subtract {{{8d}}} from both sides.



{{{4d=-5+8}}} Combine like terms on the left side.



{{{4d=3}}} Combine like terms on the right side.



{{{d=(3)/(4)}}} Divide both sides by {{{4}}} to isolate {{{d}}}.

Answer:


So the solution is {{{d=3/4}}}
