Full solution

Q. Solve for

d

.

\newline

-2(d + -9) + -4 = 6

\newline

d =

_____

Distribute and Simplify: Simplify the equation by distributing $-2$ into $(d + -9)$ . $\newline$ $-2(d + -9) + -4 = 6$ $\newline$ $-2d + 18 - 4 = 6$
Combine Like Terms: Combine like terms on the left side. $\newline$ $-2d + 14 = 6$
Isolate Variable: Isolate $d$ by subtracting $14$ from both sides. $\newline$ $-2d + 14 - 14 = 6 - 14$ $\newline$ $-2d = -8$
Divide to Solve: Divide both sides by $-2$ to solve for $d$ . $\newline$ $-2d / -2 = -8 / -2$ $\newline$ $d = 4$
