Answer:

d = 3

Explanation:

Isolate the variable, d. Note the equal sign, what you do to one side, you do to the other. Subtract 8 and 3d from both sides:

5d (-3d) + 8 (-8) = 14 (-8) + 3d (-3d)

5d - 3d = 14 - 8

2d = 6

Divide 2 from both sides:

(2d)/2 = (6)/2

d = 6/2

d = 3

d = 3 is your answer.
