Answer 2

Do you want an answer or me to explain it to you?

Answer 3

Both if you can

Answer 4

3d - 6 = 5. You want d by its self. So first add 6 to both sides. What does the equation look like then?

Answer 5

9-12

Answer 6

3D-6=5? Well you can switch D to X if it makes it simpler, but the best way to do these sorts of problems is by extracting numbers from each side to make it more even and easier to understand. 3D-6=5. Add six to both sides, making the negative six cancel out because -6+6= 0, and therefore isn't needed anymore. Now add six over to 5. That will be 11. Now the equation should look like 3D=11. Now divide each side by three. This sort of number mix up will most surely have decimals, and not be a whole number. 3D/3 is just D. 11/3 would be 3.66666667, or 3.67. In other words, D=3.67

Answer 7

No, if you add 6 you will have 3d = 11. 6 + (- 6) = 0 and 6 + 5 = 11.

Answer 8

Sparkz thanks but I got it. you dont want to just make a huge thing like that with the answer at then end. You try to get them to figure it out them selves. :D
