d=12
Step by Step Explanation
Hey!
So since we have the value of some of the numbers, let's plug those into their spots so we get something easier to work with. It would look something like this:
[tex]d = ( - 6 \times 2) - 4(2 \times - 3)[/tex]
Now that we have this to work with, let's simplify it. Lets start by multiplying what's inside the parentheses. This would bring the equation down to:
[tex]d = ( - 12) - 4( - 6)[/tex]
Next, lets multiply the 4 (which can also be seen as -4) and the -6. Since we're going to look at it as a -4, this would bring the equation down to:
[tex]d = - 12 + 24[/tex]
Finally, we add the two numbers together to get our answer of:
[tex]d = 12[/tex]
I hope this helped!!
