Question

Determine d in the equation 16.4 = −1.2 − 2d

Answer 1

Answer: d = -8.8

Explanation:

We will solve for d by isolating the variable.

Given:

16.4 = −1.2 − 2d

Add 1.2 to both sides of the equation:

17.6 = -2d

Divide both sides of the equation by -2:

-8.8 = d

Reflexive property:

d = -8.8
