Answer 1

Given: 11d-4-14=-7

1.) 11d-(18)=-7

We combined like terms, in this case the constants -4 and -14. -4-14 = -(14+4) = -18. So, first step is -4-14.

2.) 11d=11

The additive inverse of -18 is 18, so we canceled it out from the left and combined it with the content of -7 on the right to isolate 11d.

3.) d=1

We divided 11d by 11 to cancel it out, and we divided 11 by 11 on the left.
