Calculate
−4(−6d−4)
Apply the distributive property
−4(−6d)−(−4×4)
Multiply the numbers
24d−(−4×4)
Multiply the numbers
24d−(−16)
If a negative sign or a subtraction symbol appears outside parentheses, remove the parentheses and change the sign of every term within the parentheses
24d+16
4d+24d+16−72
Add the terms

Evaluate
4d+24d
Collect like terms by calculating the sum or difference of their coefficients
(4+24)d
Add the numbers
28d
28d+16−72
Subtract the numbers
28d−56
28d−56=0
Move the constant to the right-hand side and change its sign
28d=0+56
Removing 0 doesn't change the value,so remove it from the expression
28d=56
Divide both sides
2828d=2856
Divide the numbers
d=2856
