Solution - Adding, subtracting and finding the least common multiple
Step by Step Solution
Rearrange:
Rearrange the equation by subtracting what is to the right of the equal sign from both sides of the equation :
4/5*d+3-(-2-1/5*d)=0
Step by step solution :
Step 1 :
1
Simplify —
5
Equation at the end of step 1 :
4 1
((—•d)+3)-(-2-(—•d)) = 0
5 5
Step 2 :
Rewriting the whole as an Equivalent Fraction :
2.1 Subtracting a fraction from a whole
Rewrite the whole as a fraction using 5 as the denominator :
-2 -2 • 5
-2 = —— = ——————
1 5
Equivalent fraction : The fraction thus generated looks different but has the same value as the whole
Common denominator : The equivalent fraction and the other fraction involved in the calculation share the same denominator
Adding fractions that have a common denominator :
2.2 Adding up the two equivalent fractions
Add the two equivalent fractions which now have a common denominator
Combine the numerators together, put the sum or difference over the common denominator then reduce to lowest terms if possible:
-2 • 5 - (d) -d - 10
———————————— = ———————
5 5
Equation at the end of step 2 :
4 (-d - 10)
((— • d) + 3) - ————————— = 0

Simplify —
5
Equation at the end of step 3 :
4 (-d - 10)
((— • d) + 3) - ————————— = 0

Step 4 :
Rewriting the whole as an Equivalent Fraction :
4.1 Adding a whole to a fraction
Rewrite the whole as a fraction using 5 as the denominator :
3 3 • 5
3 = — = —————
1 5
Adding fractions that have a common denominator :
4.2 Adding up the two equivalent fractions
4d + 3 • 5 4d + 15
—————————— = ———————
5 5
Equation at the end of step 4 :
(4d + 15) (-d - 10)
————————— - ————————— = 0

Step 5 :
Step 6 :
Pulling out like terms :
6.1 Pull out like factors :
-d - 10 = -1 • (d + 10)
Adding fractions which have a common denominator :
6.2 Adding fractions which have a common denominator
Combine the numerators together, put the sum or difference over the common denominator then reduce to lowest terms if possible:
(4d+15) - ((-d-10)) 5d + 25
——————————————————— = ———————
5 5
Step 7 :
Pulling out like terms :
7.1 Pull out like factors :
5d + 25 = 5 • (d + 5)
Equation at the end of step 7 :
d + 5 = 0
Step 8 :
Solving a Single Variable Equation :
8.1 Solve : d+5 = 0
Subtract 5 from both sides of the equation :
d = -5
One solution was found :
d = -5How did we do?
