Given the equation:

25d - 16 = 4d + 26

Determine the value of d.

Solution:

In order to determine the value of, we simply need to transpose first 4d and -16 on the opposite side of the equations, hence it must be taken to note that in transposing a number, the sign changes.

25d - 16 = 4d + 26

25d - 4d = 26 + 16

21d = 42

Divide both sides by 21 in order to get the value of d.

21d/21 = 42/21

d = 2

Final answer:

d = 2
