Let's complete the step-by-step process of solving the equation given in the problem:

  1. Start with the equation: \[ 4(-3d + 14) = -17d + 16 \]

  2. Apply the distributive property: Distribute the 4 on the left side: \[ 4 \times -3d + 4 \times 14 = -17d + 16 \] This simplifies to: \[ -12d + 56 = -17d + 16 \]

  3. Now we have: \[ -12d + 56 = -17d + 16 \]

  4. Add 17d to both sides: \[ -12d + 17d + 56 = 16 \] This simplifies to: \[ 5d + 56 = 16 \]

  5. Subtract 56 from both sides: \[ 5d + 56 - 56 = 16 - 56 \] This simplifies to: \[ 5d = -40 \]

  6. Divide both sides by 5: \[ d = \frac{-40}{5} \] This simplifies to: \[ d = -8 \]

The final answer is: \[ d = -8 \]
