Question

7(d-5)+12=5

Answer 1

simple... 7d-35+12=5

Answer 2

7d-35=17

Answer 3

solve for d

Answer 4

7(d-5)+12=5
Add 12 to -35 to get -23.
7d-23=5
Since -23 does not contain the variable to solve for, move it to the right-hand side of the equation by adding 23 to both sides.
7d=23+5
Add 5 to 23 to get 28.

Simplify the left-hand side of the equation by canceling the common factors
\[d=28 \over 7\]
Simplify the right-hand side of the equation by simplifying each term
answer
d=4
