Solving
1 + -1d = 0

Move all terms containing d to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '-1' to each side of the equation.
1 + -1 + -1d = 0 + -1

Combine like terms: 1 + -1 = 0
0 + -1d = 0 + -1
-1d = 0 + -1

Combine like terms: 0 + -1 = -1
-1d = -1

Divide each side by '-1'.
d = 1

Simplifying
d = 1
Solution
d = {0.2222222222, 1}
