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.
\ (Subtract:
)
\
(Divide:
)
Compare the values, the equation is true.
\The value of d = 34.
