Explanations:
8 - ( -3d + 2)
Open up the brackets:
The negative (-) sign outside the bracket will multiply both -3d and 2 one by one.
The equation then becomes:
8 + 3d - 2
Collect like terms:
8 and 2 are similar, they can come together. The equation becomes
8 - 2 + 3d
6 + 3d
Note that 3 is a common factor of 6 and 3, the equation finally becomes:
3 ( 2 + d)
