Solve for d 19-2d=-20-17d-6

$19 - 2 d = - 20 - 17 d - 6$

Step 1

Subtract $6$ from $- 20$ .

$19 - 2 d = - 17 d - 26$

Step 2

Move all terms containing $d$ to the left side of the equation.

Add $17 d$ to both sides of the equation.

$19 - 2 d + 17 d = - 26$

Add $- 2 d$ and $17 d$ .

$19 + 15 d = - 26$

Step 3

Move all terms not containing $d$ to the right side of the equation.

Subtract $19$ from both sides of the equation.

$15 d = - 26 - 19$

Subtract $19$ from $- 26$ .

$15 d = - 45$

Step 4

Divide each term in $15 d = - 45$ by $15$ and simplify.

Divide each term in $15 d = - 45$ by $15$ .

$\frac{15 d}{15} = \frac{- 45}{15}$

Simplify the left side.

Cancel the common factor of $15$ .

Cancel the common factor.

$\frac{15 d}{15} = \frac{- 45}{15}$

Divide $d$ by $1$ .

$d = \frac{- 45}{15}$

Simplify the right side.

Divide $- 45$ by $15$ .

$d = - 3$
