Question

$-8(5d-2)=-35$

Answer 1

-8(5d-2)=-35
-40d+16=-35
-40d= -51
D=-51/-40

Answer 2

Answer:

d = ⁵¹⁄₄₀ or 1.275

Explanation:

−8 (5d − 2) = −35

• Simplify both sides of the equation

−8 (5d − 2) = −35

(−8) (5d) + (−8) (−2) = −35 (Distribute)

−40d + 16 = −35

• Subtract 16 from both sides

−40d + 16 − 16 = −35 − 16

−40d = −51

• Divide both sides by -40

−40d / -40 = −51 / -40

• Simplify

d = ⁵¹⁄₄₀

• Turn the fraction into a decimal

d = 1.275

d = ⁵¹⁄₄₀ or 1.275
