Answer:

27

Explanation:

The equation is a onestep equation, so in order to find the variable, follow these steps:

d - 4 = 23

In order to isolate the variable or get the variable by itself, you need to get rid of the constants around it or the numbers without a variable. In order to do that for this equation, you'll need to do the inverse of subtracting 4, which would be adding four to both sides.

Adding 4 to positive 23 will give you the answer of 27;

d = 27

Therefore, the variable d equals 27

Hope this helps!
