-1/4d-2/5d=39
Solve for d
Please explain I don’t understand

Sagot :

Given:

The equation is

[tex]-\dfrac{1}{4}d-\dfrac{2}{5}d=39[/tex]

To find:

The value of d.

Solution:

We have,

[tex]-\dfrac{1}{4}d-\dfrac{2}{5}d=39[/tex]

Taking LCM, we get

[tex]\dfrac{-5d-8d}{20}=39[/tex]

[tex]\dfrac{-13d}{20}=39[/tex]

Multiply both sides by 20.

[tex]-13d=39\times 20[/tex]

Divide both sides by -13.

[tex]d=\dfrac{39\times 20}{-13}[/tex]

[tex]d=-3\times 20[/tex]

[tex]d=-60[/tex]

Therefore, the value of d is -60.
