Calculate
More Steps

Evaluate
2d−5≥0
Move the constant to the right side
2d≥0+5
Removing 0 doesn't change the value,so remove it from the expression
2d≥5
Divide both sides
22d≥25
Divide the numbers
d≥25
{d≥25d−1≥0
Calculate
More Steps

Evaluate
d−1≥0
Move the constant to the right side
d≥0+1
Removing 0 doesn't change the value,so remove it from the expression
d≥1
{d≥25d≥1
Find the intersection
d≥25
2d−5=d−1,d≥25
Raise both sides of the equation to the 2-th power to eliminate the isolated 2-th root
(2d−5)2=(d−1)2
Evaluate the power
2d−5=d−1
Move the expression to the left side
2d−5−d=−1
Move the expression to the right side
2d−d=−1+5
