Question

18(d/3-6)=144 (solve for d)

Answer 1

42

Explanation:

To solve for d, we need to isolate d on one side of the equation.

First, let's simplify the left side by distributing 18 to the expression inside the parentheses:

18(d/3 - 6) = 18(d/3) - 18(6)

18(d/3 - 6) = 6d - 108

Now we have:

6d - 108 = 144

Let's add 108 to both sides to isolate 6d:

6d - 108 + 108 = 144 + 108

6d = 252

Finally, we can solve for d by dividing both sides by 6:

6d/6 = 252/6

d = 42

The solution is d = 42.
