Question

Which of the following statements describes the solution to the equation 5 - d = -3? A)The solution must be larger than 5.
B)The solution must be smaller than 5.
C)The solution must be equal to 5.

Answer 1

Answer:

The solution must be larger than 5. The correct choice is 'A.'

Step-by-step explanation:

5 - d = -3

-d = -3 - 5

-d = -8

Dividing by -1 on both sides;

d = 8

So because d is greater than 5; then the solution must be greater than 5.

Answer 2

Answer:

larger than five
