Answer:

The answer is: d-5x

Explanation:

What I like to do is rewrite the problem with numbers instead of variables.

Example: Warren had 20 dollars. He bought 5 ice creams which cost 2 dollars each. How much money does he have left?

He has 20 dollars, 5x2=10 he spent 10$ on the ice cream so you have to subtract how much he had in the beginning to how much he spent, the answer with numbers would be: 20-5x2

With variables it would be d-5x
