-3d/4+5=11

OpenStudy (anonymous):

-5 on each side to give \[-\frac{ 3 }{ 4 }d = 6\] divide by 3 on each side to give \[-\frac{ 1 }{ 4 }d = 2\] multiply by -4 on each side to give \[d = -8\] Job done!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i just realized i put the d in the wrong spot DX

OpenStudy (anonymous):

It still works out as the same answer as \[-\frac{ 3 }{ 4 }d\] is the same as \[- \frac{ 3d }{ 4 }\] and is the same as \[\frac{ -3d }{ 4 }\] :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

do i still mutiply by 3?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

usually you would mulitply by 4 because it is the denominator, why do you multiply by the -3d?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you aren't multiplying by 3, I was just showing you that they can be written in slightly different forms but equal exactly the same thing

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Just follow my original steps as that will give you the correct answer :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thank you

OpenStudy (anonymous):

No problem :)
