Solution - Linear equations with one unknown

Rearrange:

Rearrange the equation by subtracting what is to the right of the equal sign from both sides of the equation :

                     -16*(d+1)-(-20)=0 

Step by step solution :

Step  1  :

Equation at the end of step  1  :

  (0 -  16 • (d + 1)) -  -20  = 0 

Step  2  :

Step  3  :

Pulling out like terms :

 3.1     Pull out like factors :

   4 - 16d  =   -4 • (4d - 1) 

Equation at the end of step  3  :

  -4 • (4d - 1)  = 0 

Step  4  :

Equations which are never true :

 4.1      Solve :    -4   =  0

This equation has no solution.
A a non-zero constant never equals zero.

Solving a Single Variable Equation :

 4.2      Solve  :    4d-1 = 0 

 Add  1  to both sides of the equation : 
                      4d = 1
Divide both sides of the equation by 4:
                     d = 1/4 = 0.250
