You required to find the value of d. Always remember the concept that if you transpose "+" sign to the other side, it becomes "-" sign, and vice versa. Make sure that you arrange the like terms and constants. Solving the equation, 6d + 1 = 15 - d 6d + d = 15 - 1 7d = 14 d = 14/7 = 2
When transposing a multiplication, you divide it to the other side.
