Solve -3(d-4)=-2d-2(8+4d)

$$- 3 ( d - 4 ) = - 2 d - 2 ( 8 + 4 d )$$

Solve for d

$$d=-4$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Use the distributive property to multiply -3 by d-4.

$$-3d+12=-2d-2\left(8+4d\right)$$

Use the distributive property to multiply -2 by 8+4d.

$$-3d+12=-2d-16-8d$$

Combine -2d and -8d to get -10d.

$$-3d+12=-10d-16$$

Add 10d to both sides.

$$-3d+12+10d=-16$$

Combine -3d and 10d to get 7d.

$$7d+12=-16$$

Subtract 12 from both sides.

$$7d=-16-12$$

Subtract 12 from -16 to get -28.

$$7d=-28$$

Divide both sides by 7.

$$d=\frac{-28}{7}$$

Divide -28 by 7 to get -4.

$$d=-4$$
