Answer:

88.2

Explanation:

1) Find d

-20 = d + 6 original equation

-20 - 6 = d subtract 6 from both sides to isolate the variable

-26 = d simplify like terms

d = -26 answer

2) Plug it in expression

5 - 3.2d original expression

5 - 3.2 (-26) substitute value d for -26 (as calculated above)

5 + 83.2 PEMDAS (multiply first...don't subtract 5-3.2 and then multiply!)

88.2 simplify like terms and here is your answer
