1/6d + 2/3 = 1/4(d - 2)

First, simplify
(1)/(6) d to
(d)/(6) / Your problem should look like:
(d)/(6) +
(2)/(3) =
(1)/(4) (d - 2)
Second, simplify
(1)/(4) (d - 2) to
(d-2)/(4) / Your problem should look like:
(d)/(6) +
(2)/(3) =
(d-2)/(4)
Third, multiply both sides by 12 (the LCM of 6,4) / Your problem should look like: 2d + 8 = 3(d - 2)
Fourth, expand. / Your problem should look like: 2d + 8 = 3d - 6
Fifth, subtract 2d from both sides. / Your problem should look like: 8 = 3d - 6 - 2d
Sixth, simplify 3d - 6 - 2d to d - 6 / Your problem should look like: 8 = d - 6
Seventh,add 6 to both sides. / Your problem should look like: 8 + 6 = d
Eighth, simplify 8 + 6 to 14 / Your problem should look like:14 = d
Ninth, switch sides. / Your problem should look like: d = 14

Answer: d = 14
