Question
Solve the equation
Solve for d
d=−4
Evaluate
2(5−d)=2−4d
Expand the expression
More Steps
Evaluate
2(5−d)
Apply the distributive property
2×5−2d
Multiply the numbers
10−2d
10−2d=2−4d
Move the expression to the left side
10−2d+4d=2
Move the expression to the right side
−2d+4d=2−10
Add and subtract
More Steps
Evaluate
−2d+4d
Collect like terms by calculating the sum or difference of their coefficients
(−2+4)d
Add the numbers
2d
2d=2−10
Add and subtract
2d=−8
Divide both sides
22d=2−8
Divide the numbers
d=2−8
