You can put this solution on YOUR website! looks like 2. 
 d and e
 
 d^2 is a different term but the same variable.
 
 when you combine like terms, d^2 and d don't combine.
 
 but they are the same variable.
 
 the letter e could be a variable or it could be the scientific constant e.
 
 if it is the scientific constant e = 2.718281818 then you have 1 variable in the equation.
 
 if it's not, then you have 2 variables.
