$$3d+d-7=\frac{ 25 }{ 4 }$$

jtug6 · Answer

Ok so first things first, what is 3d + d equal to?

anonymous · Answer

4d

jtug6 · Answer

right so now you got 4d - 7 = 25/4

now add 7 across so you get 4d = 25/4 + 7

jtug6 · Answer

How can you simplify 25/4 + 7?

anonymous · Answer

it would be $$13\frac{ 1 }{ 4 }$$

jtug6 · Answer

Right so now you have 4d = 13 1/4 or thats the same as 53/4 so ill sticl with 53/4

4d = 53/4 so how do you get d by itsself?

anonymous · Answer

divide by 4

jtug6 · Answer
