The quotient of 5 plus a number d and negative 2 is 14. Write an equation
Let
d-------> the number
we know that
The equation that represent the situation is
\(\frac{5+d}{-2} =14\)
Solve for d
Multiply by \(-2\) both sides
\(5+d=14*-2\)
\(5+d=-28\)
Subtract \(5\) both sides
\(5+d-5=-28-5\)
\(d=-33\)
therefore
the answer is
The equation is equal to \(\frac{5+d}{-2} =14\)
The value of d is \(-33\)
