How do you solve #4d + 6= - 8+ 6d + 2#?

Answer 1

Eli Assouline

#d=6#

#4d+6=-8+6d+2#

Simplify the right side. #-8+2=-6#

#4d+6=6d-6#

Add #6# to both sides.

#4d+6+6=6d-6+6#

#4d+12=6d#

Subtract #4d# from both sides.

#4d-4d+12=6d-4d#

#12=2d#

Divide both sides by #2#.

#12/2=(2d)/2#

#6=d#

Therefore, #d=6#

To solve the equation 4d + 6 = -8 + 6d + 2, first, simplify both sides by combining like terms:

4d + 6 = -8 + 6d + 2 Subtract 6d from both sides: 4d - 6d + 6 = -8 + 2 Combine like terms: -2d + 6 = -6 Subtract 6 from both sides: -2d = -12 Divide both sides by -2: d = 6

When evaluating a one-sided limit, you need to be careful when a quantity is approaching zero since its sign is different depending on which way it is approaching zero from. Let us look at some examples.
