Solve Equations Using the Subtraction and Addition Properties of Equality · Exercise 73

Construction Miguel wants to drill a hole for a $\frac{5}{8}$ inch screw. The hole should be $\frac{1}{12}$ inch smaller than the screw. Let $d$ equal the size of the hole he should drill. Solve the equation $d + \frac{1}{12} = \frac{5}{8}$ to see what size the hole should be.
