Question

D + 4(d + 6) = -11 *

Answer 1

Hey there!

`d+4(d+6)=-11`

Let's simplify both sides of the equation:

`d+4(d+6)=-11`

Now let's distribute:

`d+(4)(d)+(4)(6)=-11\\d+4d+24=-11`

Now combine like terms:

`(d+4d)+(24)=-11\\5d+24=-11`

Subtract 24 from both sides:

`5d+24-24=-11-24\\5d=-35`

Now divide both sides by 5:

`(5d)/(5)=(-35)/(5)`

In order to get our answer, we need to simplify by dividing -35 and 5:

`(-35)/(5) =-7\\d=-7`

Hope this helps!
