Solve d=5-x/2

$$d = \frac { 5 - x } { 2 }$$

Solve for x

$$x=5-2d$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Divide each term of 5-x by 2 to get \frac{5}{2}-\frac{1}{2}x.

$$d=\frac{5}{2}-\frac{1}{2}x$$

Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.

$$\frac{5}{2}-\frac{1}{2}x=d$$

Subtract \frac{5}{2} from both sides.

$$-\frac{1}{2}x=d-\frac{5}{2}$$

Multiply both sides by -2.

$$\frac{-\frac{1}{2}x}{-\frac{1}{2}}=\frac{d-\frac{5}{2}}{-\frac{1}{2}}$$

Dividing by -\frac{1}{2} undoes the multiplication by -\frac{1}{2}.

$$x=\frac{d-\frac{5}{2}}{-\frac{1}{2}}$$

Divide d-\frac{5}{2} by -\frac{1}{2} by multiplying d-\frac{5}{2} by the reciprocal of -\frac{1}{2}.

$$x=5-2d$$

Solve for d

$$d=\frac{5-x}{2}$$
