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.
To solve the equation "5.5 equals negative 2 plus d" using addition or subtraction, we can rewrite the equation as: d = 5.5 - (-2).
Using subtraction, we can simplify this equation as: d = 5.5 + 2.
Therefore, the value of d is 7.5.
