Answer:
d = 11
Step-by-step explanation:
Isolate the variable (d). Note the equal sign, what you do to one side, you do to the other. Do the opposite of PEMDAS.
First, add 5 to both sides
2d - 5 (+5) = 17 (+5)
2d = 17 + 5
2d = 22
Next, divide 2 from both sides
(2d)/2 = (22)/2
d = 22/2
d = 11
11 is your answer for d.
