For this case we have the following expression:

(3/8)d + 3/4
We must factor the term that accompanies the variable.
We have then:

(3/8) (d + (3/4) * (8/3))
Rewriting the expression we have:

(3/8) (d + 8/4) (3/8) (d + 2)
We're going to check the result. To do this, we multiply the term 3/8 for each term within the parenthesis:

(3/8) d + 2 (3/8)
Rewriting:

(3/8) d + 3/4
The factorization is correct.
Answer:
(3/8) (d + 2)
