Answer (3)

You distribute first 6d+14=5+6d then you place the variables on one side and solve for d 14=5 this equation has no solution

Distribute 2(3d+7)=5+6d Multiply 2 and 3d to get 6d Multiply 2 and 7 to get 14 6d+14=5+6d Now subtract 5 from both sides 6d+9=6d Subtract 6 form both sides 9=0 Your variable has dropped out.

The equation 2 ( 3 d + 7 ) = 5 + 6 d simplifies to 14 = 5 , which is false. This indicates there is no solution for d . Thus, the original equation is inconsistent.
