Given the equation:
8d – 4d – 6d – 8 = 2d
Solve the equation.
Solution:
In order to solve the given equation, we must transpose 2d and -8 to their opposite sides in order to combine like terms. Remember that when transposing a number, the sign will always change.
8d – 4d – 6d – 8 = 2d
8d – 4d – 6d - 2d = 8
-4d = 8
Divide both sides by -4 in order to get the value of d.
d = -2
