Question

How do you solve `13 = 8-5d`?

Answer 1

`d=-1`

Explanation:

First subtract 8 from both sides of the equation
`13-8=8-5d-8`

Combining like terms gives us
`5=-5d`

Now we get the `d` alone on one side of the equation by dividing `-5` on both sides of the equation

`5/(-5)=(-5d)/-5`

This gives us
`-1=d`
