Let's go through the equation step by step and fill in the missing terms and descriptions.

Starting with the equation: \[ \frac{d+13}{16} = -1 \]

To eliminate the fraction, you can multiply both sides by 16:

  1. Multiply both sides by 16: \[ d + 13 = -16 \]

Next, you can simplify the equation by addressing the constant on the right side.

  1. The next step is subtract 13 from both sides: \[ d = -16 - 13 \] \[ d = -29 \]

So, the filled out process is:

  • d + 13 / 16 = -1
  • d + 13 = –16 (after multiplying both sides by 16)
  • Subtract 13 from both sides
  • d = -29 (after simplifying)

In summary, the completed process is:

  • Missing term: -16
  • Missing description: Subtract 13 from both sides
  • Final answer for d: -29
