Answer:

(b) No solution

Explanation:

You want the solution to 0.5(-2+ 4d) - 2d = -13.

Simplified

Eliminating the parentheses using the distributive property, we have ...

-1 +2d -2d = -13

Collecting terms gives ...

-1 = -13 . . . . . false

No value of d will make this true. There is No Solution.
