4d + 3/8 = -2?

d = - 19/32

4d + 3/8 = - 2 (= -16/8)
4d = -19/8
d = - 19/32

4d = - 16/8 - 3/8
4d = - 19/8
d = - 19/32

4d + 3/8 = -2
4d = -2 - 3/8
4d = -16/8 - 3/8
4d = -19/8
32d = -19
d = -19/32

32d+3=-16
d= (-16-3)/32
d=-19/32

Given: 4d + 3/8 = -2

Solution:

4d + 3/8 = -2

By transposition method, you can transpose 3/8 to the right side but change its sign from positive (+) to negative (-)

4d = - 2 - 3/8
4d = (- 16 - 3)/8
4d = - 19/8

by cross multiplication method

d = -19/8 * 4
d = - 19/32 --------------->>> Answer

No.

Divide everything by 4.

Now d + 3/32 = (-16/32) so I converted...

Subtract 3/32

And d = -19/32

4d+3/8=-2
4d=-2-3/8
4d=-2whole3/8
4d=-19/8
d=-19/32

-19/32

subtract 3/8 from both sides...

4d = -19/8

divide by 4 on both sides

d = -19/32

-19/32

EDIT: LOL yaybob is a dud!!! got it wrong first!!!

4d + 3/8 = -2
4d = -2 - 3/8
4d = - 19/8
d= - 19/32
