Answer

$d=2,d=-6$ and $d=-8$.

Work Step by Step

The given equation is $\Rightarrow (d-2)(d+6)(d+8)=0$ Use zero-product property rule. $\Rightarrow d-2=0$ or $d+6=0$ or $d+8=0$ Solve for $x$. $\Rightarrow d=2$ or $d=-6$ or $d=-8$ Check:- $d=2$ $\Rightarrow (2-2)(2+6)(2+8)=0$ $\Rightarrow (0)(8)(10)=0$ $\Rightarrow 0=0$ True. Check:- $d=-6$ $\Rightarrow (-6-2)(-6+6)(-6+8)=0$ $\Rightarrow (-8)(0)(2)=0$ $\Rightarrow 0=0$ True. Check:- $d=-8$ $\Rightarrow (-8-2)(-8+6)(-8+8)=0$ $\Rightarrow (-10)(-2)(0)=0$ $\Rightarrow 0=0$ True. Hence, the solutions are $d=2,d=-6$ and $d=-8$.
