GIven the numerical equation:
-3d + 10 = 43
Solve for d.
Solution:
In order to solve for d, we simply need to transpose 10 to the other side of the equation, hence we must take note that in transposing a number, the sign changes.
-3d + 10 = 43
-3d = 43 - 10
-3d = 33
Divide both sides by -3, in order to cancel out -3d, leaving behind d.
-3d/-3 = 33/-3
d = -11
Final answer:
d = -11
