Exercise 16 Page 59

Apply inverse operations to isolate d.

d=24-2f

Practice makes perfect

To solve the given literal equation for d, we will use the Properties of Equality to apply inverse operations on the equation.

d/6 + f/3 = 4
d/6 = 4 -f/3
â–¼
LHS * 6=RHS* 6
d/6(6) = 24 -f/3(6)
d = 24 -f/3(6)
d = 24 -6f/3
d=24-2f
