Question

Please show work 3d – 4 + d = 8d – (-12)

Answer 1

d= -4

Explanation:

3d- 4 +d = 8d + 12

4d - 4 = 8d + 12

4d = 8d + 16

-4d = 16

d= -4

Check

-12 - 4 - 4 = -32 + 12

-20 = -20

Answer 2

d = -4

Explanation:

3d – 4 + d = 8d – (-12)

3d - 4 + d = 8d + 12

4d - 4 = 8d + 12

(4d - 4d) - 4 = (8d - 4d) + 12

-4 = 4d + 12

-4 - 12 = 4d (+ 12 - 12)

-16 = 4d

-16/4 = 4d/4

d = -4
