Answer:

a). -16

Explanation:

In this question, you have to solve the equation for the variable "d".

Solve:

9d + 1 = 8d - 15

Subtract 8d from both sides to move all the "d" variables to one side.

d + 1 = -15

Subtract 1 from both sides to get "d" by itself.

d = -16

Your final answer would be d = -16
