Is d = 12 a solution to this equation?

2 = d− 10

1 answer

To determine if \( d = 12 \) is a solution to the equation \( 2 = d - 10 \), we can substitute \( d \) with 12 and see if both sides of the equation are equal.

Starting with the equation:

\[ 2 = d - 10 \]

Substituting \( d = 12 \):

\[ 2 = 12 - 10 \]

Now, calculate the right side:

\[ 12 - 10 = 2 \]

So the equation becomes:

\[ 2 = 2 \]

Since both sides are equal, \( d = 12 \) is indeed a solution to the equation.
