Question 14848: Please help me solve this equation: +3%281%2Bd%29-5=3d-2+
So far, i have distributed the 3 to the 1+d. I basically figured the problem and got 3+d=3. i do not know where to go from there, or even if i have the problem right.please help me.

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Well, the first step is to distribute.
You should have gotten:
3%2B3d-5=3d-2
Then you move all the d's to one side and the numbers to the other.
3d-3d=5-2-3
0d=0
So, D=0
You probably think "This must be wrong" but it isn't.
If you plug 0 in for D, you will find out why.
3%281%2B0%29-5=3d-2
3-5=3d-2
-2=3d-2
0=3d
d=0
Hope this helps!
