Question 353405
{{{2d+24+3d=4}}} Start with the given equation.



{{{5d+24=4}}} Combine like terms on the left side.



{{{5d=4-24}}} Subtract {{{24}}} from both sides.



{{{5d=-20}}} Combine like terms on the right side.



{{{d=(-20)/(5)}}} Divide both sides by {{{5}}} to isolate {{{d}}}.



{{{d=-4}}} Reduce.

Answer:


So the solution is {{{d=-4}}} 



So there must be a typo somewhere. Please double check your book.
