Solve for d 5d-d-2d+8-3d=0

$5 d - d - 2 d + 8 - 3 d = 0$

Step 1

Simplify $5 d - d - 2 d + 8 - 3 d$ .

Subtract $d$ from $5 d$ .

$4 d - 2 d + 8 - 3 d = 0$

Subtract $2 d$ from $4 d$ .

$2 d + 8 - 3 d = 0$

Subtract $3 d$ from $2 d$ .

$- d + 8 = 0$

Step 2

Subtract $8$ from both sides of the equation.

$- d = - 8$

Step 3

Divide each term in $- d = - 8$ by $- 1$ and simplify.

Divide each term in $- d = - 8$ by $- 1$ .

$\frac{- d}{- 1} = \frac{- 8}{- 1}$

Simplify the left side.

Dividing two negative values results in a positive value.

$\frac{d}{1} = \frac{- 8}{- 1}$

Divide $d$ by $1$ .

$d = \frac{- 8}{- 1}$

Simplify the right side.

Divide $- 8$ by $- 1$ .

$d = 8$
