2 + d = 2 - 3(d- 5) - 2
First, cancel 2 on both sides. / Your problem should look like: \(d = -3(d - 5) - 2\)
Second, expand. / Your problem should look like: \(d = -3d + 15 - 2\)
Third, simplify -3d + 15 - 2 to get -3d + 13. / Your problem should look like: \(d = -3d + 13\)
Fourth, add 3d to both sides. / Your problem should look like: \(d + 3d = 13\)
Fifth, add d + 3d to get 4d. / Your problem should look like: \(4d = 13\)
Sixth, divide both sides by 4. / Your problem should look like: \(d = \frac{13}{4}\)
Answer as fraction: \(d = \frac{13}{4}\)
Answer as decimal: \(d = 3.25\)
