What is the solution to this equation? 3(d + 2) - 12 = d - 2
d = 2, d = 4, d = 8, d = 10
Solution:
Given: 3(d + 2) - 12 = d - 2
We have to determine the value of d
3d + 6 - 12 = d - 2
3d + 6 - 12 - d = - 2
Grouping the terms
(3d - d) + (6 - 12) = -2
2d + (-6) = -2
2d - 6 = -2
2d = -2 + 6
So we get
2d = 4
Divide both sides by 2
d = 2
Therefore, the solution to the equation is 2.
What is the solution to this equation? 3(d + 2) - 12 = d - 2
Summary:
The solution to this equation 3(d + 2) - 12 = d - 2 is 2.
