Add '-1' to each side of the equation.
1 + -1 + 3d = 10 + -1
Combine like terms: 1 + -1 = 0
0 + 3d = 10 + -1
3d = 10 + -1
Combine like terms: 10 + -1 = 9
3d = 9
Divide each side by '3'.
d = 3
Simplifying

The dimensions that would result to maximum area will be found as follows:
let the length be x, the width will be 32-x
thus the area will be given by:
P(x)=x(32-x)=32x-x²
At maximum area:
dP'(x)=0
from the expression:
P'(x)=32-2x=0
solving for x
32=2x
x=16 inches
thus the dimensions that will result in maximum are is length=16 inches and width=16 inches
