Woops

$$\large 5x - \frac{d}{6} = 2x$$

Like that?

um. i think

johnweldon1993 · Answer

Nope I tried it like that and it doesn't work lol

johnweldon1993 · Answer

So I'm actually going to assume it is

$$\large \frac{5x - d}{6} = 2x$$

what are you trying to do

anonymous · Answer

solve the equation for D

johnweldon1993 · Answer

So you would multiply both sides by 6

$$\large 5x - d = 12x$$

Now subtract 5x from both sides of the equation

$$\large -d = 7x$$

And finally divide both sides by '-'

$$\large d = -7x$$

ok

dmb1215 · Answer

wait a sec wouldnt you multiply the 5x to both sides to get rid of 5x by the d

johnweldon1993 · Answer

At what part? @Dmb1215

dmb1215 · Answer

the first part 5x-d/6=2x
-d/6=2x*5x

johnweldon1993 · Answer

No...so we have

$$\large \frac{5x - d}{6} = 2x$$

The first thing you need to do is get rid of that fraction...because you cannot do anything with a fraction on 1 side...

That is why I multiplied by 6...it cancels out the fraction...

$$\large 5x - d = 12x $$

Them it's just combining like terms....
