answer:
d = 4.2

Step-by-step explanation:


-5.5(d-2)=-12.1 | distribute the -5.5 into the parentheses


-5.5d + 11 = -12.1 | subtract 11 and move it over to -12.1


-5.5d = -23.1 | divide by -5.5


d = 4.2 | final answer


hope this helps! ❤ from peachimin

-5.5(d - 2) = -12.1

-5.5d + 11.0 = -12.1 distributed -5.5 on the left side

-11.0 -11.0

-5.5d = -23.1


(-5.5d)/(-5.5) = (-23.1)/(-5.5)

d = 4.2

Answer: d = 4.2
