Question

Someone please help me solve this equation


8= 4 + d - 5 7/8

Answer 1

the answer is d=9 7/8

Answer 2

Yes, I know that I got it from an example, but I want to know how to get the answer.

Answer 3

You want to get the numbers on one side, and the variables on the other side (of the equal sign)

Answer 4

8 = 4 + d - 5 7/8
8 = 4 + d - 47/8 --- multiply everything by 8 to get rid of fraction
64 = 32 + 8d - 47
64 - 32 + 47 = 8d
79 = 8d
79/8 = d
9 7/8 = d

Answer 5

What I did was subtract the 4 from the right side and the left side to get
4=d-5 7/8
then I added 5 7/8 to both sides
d=9 7/8
