Question 660857
<pre>
Hi, there--

Question:
What is 3+6d-5=-2

Answer:
In "official mathematical language," we would say, "Solve this equation for d."

{{{3+3d-5=2}}}

Combine like terms. 3 + -5 is -2.
{{{3d-2=2}}}

Add 2 to both sides.
{{{3d=4}}}

Divide both sides of the equation by 3.
{{{d=4/3}}}
