Question

2(d − 6) − 3 = 1 solve for d

Answer 1

d=8

Explanation:

2(d-6)-3=1

Add 3 to both sides:

2(d-3)+3=1+3

Simplify:

2(d-6)=4

Divide both sides by 2:

2(d-6)/2=4/2

Simplify:

d-6=2

Add 6 to both sides:

d-6+6=2+6

Simplify:

d=8

Answer 2

d = 8

Explanation:

2(d -6) - 3 = 1

+3 +3

2(d-6) = 4

/2 /2

(d-6) = 2

+6 +6

(d) = 8

d = 8
