Solve (d - 1)/11 = (2d - 3)/8

Evaluate

\frac{d - 1}{11} = \frac{2 d - 3}{8}

Cross multiply

(d - 1) \times 8 = 11 (2 d - 3)

Simplify the equation

8 (d - 1) = 11 (2 d - 3)

Calculate

More Steps

8 d - 8 = 11 (2 d - 3)

Calculate

More Steps

8 d - 8 = 22 d - 33

Move the expression to the left side

8 d - 8 - (22 d - 33) = 0

Calculate

More Steps

- 14 d + 25 = 0

Move the constant to the right-hand side and change its sign

- 14 d = 0 - 25

Removing 0 doesn't change the value,so remove it from the expression

- 14 d = - 25

Change the signs on both sides of the equation

14 d = 25

Divide both sides

\frac{14 d}{14} = \frac{25}{14}

Solution

d = \frac{25}{14}

Alternative Form

d = 1.7 \dot{8} 5714 \dot{2}
