Answer 4

help plzzz

Answer 5

@Erisgoddess Do you they want your answer as a decimal?

Answer 6

no

Answer 7

Okay so then it's fairly simple

Answer 8

\(4d + 1 = \sqrt{3}\)

What do you get when you subtract 1 on both sides?

Answer 9

ok

Answer 10

we want to subtract 1 on both sides so that we can get d all on its own

Answer 11

thank you

Answer 12

we're not done yet

Answer 13

what is 1 - 1

Answer 14

-1

Answer 15

if I have 1 apple, and I give you the apple

how many apples do I have?

Answer 16

Answer 18

0

Answer 19

now we're making progress!

Answer 20

omg I'm so stupid

Answer 21

shm

Answer 22

smh

Answer 23

so we had

\( 4d + 1 = \sqrt{3}\)

we subtract 1 on both sides

\( 4d + 1 - 1 = \sqrt{3} - 1\)

we said 1 - 1 = 0

so we have now

\( 4d = \sqrt{3} - 1\)

now we just want to get d all by itself

Answer 24

ok

Answer 25

to get rid of that 4 that's with d

let's think, d is being multiplied by 4
if we want to remove it, we have to do the OPPOSITE of multiplying

what is the opposite of multiplication?
is it addition, subtraction, or division?

Answer 26

division

Answer 27

good! so what we have to do to move that 4 to the other side is to divide 4 on both sides

Answer 28

does that make sense?

Answer 29

yep

Answer 30

so we have

Answer 31

what is

4d / 4 =

Answer 32

Answer 33
