Answer:

2.1

Explanation:

Simplifying

3.4 + -2.8d + 2.8d + -1.3 = 0

Reorder the terms:

3.4 + -1.3 + -2.8d + 2.8d = 0

Combine like terms: 3.4 + -1.3 = 2.1

2.1 + -2.8d + 2.8d = 0

Combine like terms: -2.8d + 2.8d = 0.0

2.1 + 0.0 = 0

2.1 = 0

Solving

2.1 = 0

Couldn't find a variable to solve for.

This equation is invalid, the left and right sides are not equal, therefore there is no solution.
