Answer: d=11

Simplifying 2d + - 5 = 17 Reorder the terms: - 5 + 2d = 17 Solving - 5 + 2d = 17 Solving for variable 'd'. Move all terms containing d to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '5' to each side of the equation. - 5 + 5 + 2d = 17 + 5 Combine like terms: - 5 + 5 = 0 0 + 2d = 17 + 5 2d = 17 + 5 Combine like terms: 17 + 5 = 22 2d = 22 Divide each side by '2'. d = 11 Simplifying d = 11
