The equation is \"\".

\

According to multiplication property of equality:

\

For any number a, b and c, If a = b then ac = bc.

\

\"\"                 (Multiply each side by 2)

\

\"\"                         (Cancel common terms)

\

\"\"                              (Multiply:\"\") \ \

\

\"\"

\

Addition property of equality: if a = b, then a + c = b + c.

\

\"\"                  (Add 6 to both sides)

\

\"\"                             (Additive inverse property: \"\")

\

d = 34                                  (Add: 28 + 6 = 34)

Check:

\

To check the solution, substitute d = 34 in original equation.
