Given the equation:

h = d/3 + 2

Solve for d.

Solution:

In order to solve for d, the first step is to transpose 2 on the other side of the equation, hence it must be taken to note that in transposing a number, the sign changes.

h = d/3 + 2

d/3 = h - 2

Multiply both sides by 3 in order to determine the value of 3.

(3)(d/3) = (3)(h -2)

d = 3h - 6

Final answer:

d = 3h - 6
