Answer:

d = 40.44

Explanation:

Simplifying

25.14 = d + (-15.3)

25.14 = d + -15.3

Reorder the terms:

25.14 = -15.3 + d

Solving

25.14 = -15.3 + d

Solving for variable 'd'.

Move all terms containing d to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '-1d' to each side of the equation.

25.14 + -1d = -15.3 + d + -1d

Combine like terms: d + -1d = 0

25.14 + -1d = -15.3 + 0

25.14 + -1d = -15.3

Add '-25.14' to each side of the equation.

25.14 + -25.14 + -1d = -15.3 + -25.14

Combine like terms: 25.14 + -25.14 = 0.00

0.00 + -1d = -15.3 + -25.14

-1d = -15.3 + -25.14

Combine like terms: -15.3 + -25.14 = -40.44

-1d = -40.44

Divide each side by '-1'.

d = 40.44

Simplifying

d = 40.44
