Answer:

[tex]d = 11\\[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

[tex]2d - 5=17[/tex]

Move constant to the right and chage its sign

[tex]2d=17+5[/tex]

Add the numbers

[tex]2d=22[/tex]

Divide by 2 on both sides

[tex]\frac{2d}{2} =\frac{22}{2}[/tex]

Solution

[tex]d=11[/tex]

Answer: d = 11

Step-by-step explanation: To solve for d, we must first isolate the term containing d which in this problem is 2d.

Since 5 is being subtracted from 2d, we add 5 to both sides of the equation to isolate the 2d.

On the left, the -5 and +5 cancel out and the right, 17 + 5 is 22.

So we have 2d = 22.

Now we can finish things off by just

dividing both sides of the equation by 2.

On the left the 2's cancel and on the right, 22 divided by 2 is 11.

So d = 11.
