Solve Equations Using the Subtraction and Addition Properties of Equality · Exercise 65

Construction Miguel wants to drill a hole for a $\frac{5}{8} - inch$ screw. The screw should be $\frac{1}{12}$ inch larger than the hole. 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.
