Answer 1

D = 31

Explanation:

Consider the equation showing the distributive property.

84 +93 = 3 (28+ D)

The unknown value we are asked to find is D

Hence:

84 + 93 = 84 + 3D

Collect like terms

84 - 84 + 93 = 3D

93 = 3D

D = 93/3

D = 31

Therefore, the unknown value that would make the equation true is 31
