Question

What is d? -16(d + 1) = -20

Answer 1

d=1/4 or .25

Explanation:

-16(d+1)=-20

-16d-16=-20

-16d=-20+16

-16d/-16=-4/-16

d= 1/4 or .25

Answer 2

Answer: d = 1/4

Explanation:

−16(d+1)=−20

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

−16(d+1)=−20

(−16)(d)+(−16)(1)=−20(Distribute)

−16d+−16=−20

−16d−16=−20

Step 2: Add 16 to both sides.

−16d−16+16=−20+16

−16d=−4

Step 3: Divide both sides by -16.

-16d = -4

-16 -16

d = 1/4

Hope this helps :)
