Q. Solve for d.26d2+31d=0Write each solution as an integer, proper fraction, or improper fraction in simplest form. If there are multiple solutions, separate them with commas.d=____
Factor GCF: Factor out the greatest common factor (GCF).The GCF of 26d2 and 31d is d.Factor out the GCF from each term in 26d2+31d=0.d(26d+31)=0
Apply Zero Product Property: Apply the zero product property.If a product of factors equals zero, then at least one of the factors must be zero.So, set each factor equal to zero and solve for d.d=026d+31=0
Solve Equation for d: Solve the equation 26d+31=0 for d.Subtract 31 from both sides of the equation.26d=−31Divide both sides by 26 to isolate d.d=−2631Simplify the fraction.d=−2631 (This fraction is already in simplest form.)
Write Values of d: Write the values of d. We found: d(26d+31)=0. This equation will be true if either d=0 or 26d+31=0. d=0,−2631
