Question

-17d - 6 + 18d= 2d - 8....
In this case, if I solved it correctly, d would equal 2, right?

Answer 1

Correct.

Answer 2

ok just checking because I wasn't sure

Answer 3

No problem.

Answer 4

Given\[−17d−6+18d=2d−8\] Simplify both sides\[−17d−6+18d=2d−8\]\[−17d+−6+18d=2d+−8\]Combine like terms\[(−17d+18d)+(−6)=2d−8\]\[d+−6=2d−8\]\[d−6=2d−8\]Subtract 2d from both sides\[d−6−2d=2d−8−2d\]\[−d−6=−8\]Add 6 to both sides\[−d−6+6=−8+6\]\[−d=−2\]Divide both sides by -1\[\frac{ -d }{ -1 }=\frac{ -2 }{ -1 }\]Final answer\[d=2\]You are correct.
