-4d - 37 = 7d + 18
-4x - 7d - 37 = 18
-11d - 37 = 18
+ 37 +37
-11d = 55
/-11 /-11
d = -5
So the answer is -5.

Answer:

d=-5

Explanation:

-4d-37=7d +18

move the terms to its correct side

-4d-7d=18+37

calculate the like terms together.

-11d=55

divide both sides by -11. both of the negavtive (-11) will cancel out and become d on the left and on the right 55 will be divided by -11 = -5. the 5 is negative because there's a negative -11 if there were a postive 11 it will be 5 instead of D=-5
