Question

Help!
How do I solve this rational equation...
1/2 - 1/ d-2 = d/ 16?

Answer 1

Subtract the first two fractions,\[\frac{ 1 }{ 2 } - \frac{1}{d-2} = \frac{d-4}{2d-4}\]Put that equal to the right side\[\frac{d-4}{2d-4}=\frac{d}{16}\]Cross multiply the numbers and solve for d.

Answer 2

ohhh okay thank you

Answer 3
