Question

eli and ana have the same number of dumplings for dinner. there are d dumplings in each container. which equation represents the situation after you subtract d from both sides? 3d = 8, 4d = 8, 2d = 8. the equation given is 3d = 8 + d, then subtract d from both sides: -d -d

Explanation:

Step1: Identify the original equation

The original equation given is \( 3d = 8 + d \).

Step2: Subtract \( d \) from both sides

Subtract \( d \) from the left side: \( 3d - d = 2d \).
Subtract \( d \) from the right side: \( 8 + d - d = 8 \).
So the new equation is \( 2d = 8 \).

Answer:

\( 2d = 8 \)
