How to solve 2 step and multi equations with fractions.

2d+1/5=3/5 This is how I did it 2d+1/5 = 3/5 I subtracted 1/5 from 3/5 and got 2/5 is this correct?
:grin:

That is correct so far. You need to finish and get d by itself.

2d = 2/5

What next???

You subtracted 1/5 from each side of the equation, yes?

It is helpful for us to see what you're doing; please show your work. :cool:

Notice how that was an excellent SINGLE step. Now you have another SINGLE step to go. Please forget whatever you were told if you somehow were led to believe that two-step problems are harder than single-step problems. There are ONLY single-step problems.
