Question

now, add 2d to both sides of the equation to get rid of -2d on the right so that the d terms are only on the left side. 4d - 8 = -2d - 5 + 2d + 2d \square = \square

Explanation:

Step1: Simplify left side

$4q - 8 + 2q = 6q - 8$

Step2: Simplify right side

$-2q - 5 + 2q = -5$

Answer:

Left box: $6q - 8$
Right box: $-5$
