Question

Solving equations on both sides so solve (3d+8=2d-17) how did you find youre answer

Answer 1

`3d-2d=-17-8` | Like terms on each side


`d=-25` | simplify

Answer 2

it's important do do the same thing to both sides so the equation will stay equal
exg
3=3
multipy 4
12=12
still true


so 3d+8=2d-17
2d means 2 times d or d+d

so
3d+8=2d-17
subtract 2d from both sides
3d-2d+8=2d-2d-17
d+8=-17
subtract 8 from both sies
d=-25


d=-25
