Answer 3

Apologies for the mistake. Let me re-evaluate the equation.

To solve the equation "5.5 equals -2 plus d" using addition or subtraction, we can subtract -2 from both sides of the equation:

5.5 - (-2) = d

Simplifying the expression on the left side:

5.5 + 2 = d

This results in:

d = 7.5

Therefore, the correct answer is d equals 7 and five-tenths.
