Solve 5/d-4-3=0

$$\frac { 5 } { d - 4 } - 3 = 0$$

Solve for d

$$d = \frac{17}{3} = 5\frac{2}{3} \approx 5.666666667$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Variable d cannot be equal to 4 since division by zero is not defined. Multiply both sides of the equation by d-4.

$$5+\left(d-4\right)\left(-3\right)=0$$

Use the distributive property to multiply d-4 by -3.

$$5-3d+12=0$$

Add 5 and 12 to get 17.

$$17-3d=0$$

Subtract 17 from both sides. Anything subtracted from zero gives its negation.

$$-3d=-17$$

Divide both sides by -3.

$$d=\frac{-17}{-3}$$

Fraction \frac{-17}{-3} can be simplified to \frac{17}{3} by removing the negative sign from both the numerator and the denominator.

$$d=\frac{17}{3}$$
