Question

Solve for d. d - (-12) = 100
A) d = 112
B) d = -88
C) d = 100
D) d = -112

Answer 1

To solve for d, subtract 12 from both sides of the equation d + 12 = 100, resulting in d = 88. The correct answer is option: B) d = -88

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve for d in the equation d - (-12) = 100, we first simplify the equation by removing the parentheses.

This gives us d + 12 = 100. To isolate d, we need to subtract 12 from both sides of the equation.

After subtraction, the equation becomes d = 100 - 12, which simplifies to d = 88.

Therefore, the correct answer is d = 88.
