Answer:
d = 5
Step-by-step explanation:
We want to know what d would be when x = -1, so we can start off by plugging in -1 for x to get the following equation: 
. On the left hand side, 2 negatives become a positive sign, so the -(-1) becomes a +1, and 8+1 would equal 9. On the right hand side, we just multiply 2 and -1 to get -2. So, the equation now looks like this: 
. We know that 
= 3, so we would get 3 = d-2. THen we would add 2 to both sides to get d = 5. Hope this helps!
<span>The word decreased by means subtract.
So...
Lets look at A.
A: a-b
Sound correct?
No,
Because the sentence said that "a is decreased by the number b."
Lets look at B.
B. b-a
Sound correct?
Yes,
Because a is getting decreased by b.
Your answer is, B.
Hope this helps!(:

That would be the median I think...
1/2 + 3/4 = 2/4 + 3/4 = 5/4 = 1 1/4
Here I change to the common denominator 4 so I could add them.
