Question

How do you solve and check your solutions to `-3=d/14`?

Answer 1

`d = -42`

Explanation:

`-3 = d/14`

Multiply all terms in the equation by 14 to remove the denominator

`-42 = d`

`d = -42`

To check the solution, substitute -42 into the equation:

`-3 = d/14`

`-3 = -42/14`

`-3 = -3`
