Answer:

3

Explanation:

The first step in simplifying this equation is multiplying out the 8 in front of the parentheses

(6d - 5) - 8(3/4d - 1)

(6d - 5) - (6d - 8)

Then multiply the minus sign, this is important to remember because it will cause the -8 to become + 8

(6d - 5) - 6d + 8

Combine like terms ( ie. 6d - 6d, -5 + 8)

This leaves us with 3
