Question

What is the solution of the equation? 16 = –d + 6
a. 10
b. –10
c. –9
d. –15

Answer 1

If you would like to know what is the solution of the equation 16 = - d + 6, you can calculate this using the following steps:

16 = - d + 6
16 - 6 = - d
10 = - d
d = - 10

The correct result would be b. - 10.

Answer 2

16 = -d + 6

Subtract 6 on both sides

16 - 6 = -d + 6 - 6

10 = -d

Divide both sides by -1

10/-1 = -d/-1

d = - 10


Your answer is B. -10.
