Solve the equation below. What's the value of [tex]\( d \)[/tex]?

[tex]\[
\frac{3}{2}(7+3d) = 3+3d
\][/tex]

A. Multiply both sides of the equation by 2.



Answer :

Let's solve the given equation step by step to find the value of [tex]\(d\)[/tex]:

Given equation:
[tex]\[ \frac{3}{2}(7 + 3d) = 3 + 3d \][/tex]

### Step 1: Eliminate the fraction
To get rid of the fraction, multiply both sides of the equation by 2:
[tex]\[ 2 \cdot \frac{3}{2}(7 + 3d) = 2 \cdot (3 + 3d) \][/tex]

This simplifies to:
[tex]\[ 3(7 + 3d) = 6 + 6d \][/tex]

### Step 2: Distribute the multiplication on the left side
Distribute the 3 across the terms inside the parentheses:
[tex]\[ 3 \cdot 7 + 3 \cdot 3d = 21 + 9d \][/tex]

So the equation now is:
[tex]\[ 21 + 9d = 6 + 6d \][/tex]

### Step 3: Move all terms involving [tex]\(d\)[/tex] to one side and constants to the other side
Subtract [tex]\(6d\)[/tex] from both sides to get all terms involving [tex]\(d\)[/tex] on one side:
[tex]\[ 21 + 9d - 6d = 6 + 6d - 6d \][/tex]

This simplifies to:
[tex]\[ 21 + 3d = 6 \][/tex]

Subtract 21 from both sides to get all constant terms on the other side:
[tex]\[ 21 - 21 + 3d = 6 - 21 \][/tex]

This simplifies to:
[tex]\[ 3d = -15 \][/tex]

### Step 4: Solve for [tex]\(d\)[/tex]
Divide both sides by 3:
[tex]\[ d = \frac{-15}{3} \][/tex]

This simplifies to:
[tex]\[ d = -5 \][/tex]

Therefore, the value of [tex]\(d\)[/tex] is:
[tex]\[ \boxed{-5} \][/tex]
