Break this problem into two subproblems by setting 
(d + -1.5) equal to 1.118033989 and -1.118033989.

Subproblem 1

d + -1.5 = 1.118033989 Simplifying d + -1.5 = 1.118033989 Reorder the terms: -1.5 + d = 1.118033989 Solving -1.5 + d = 1.118033989 Solving for variable 'd'. Move all terms containing d to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '1.5' to each side of the equation. -1.5 + 1.5 + d = 1.118033989 + 1.5 Combine like terms: -1.5 + 1.5 = 0.0 0.0 + d = 1.118033989 + 1.5 d = 1.118033989 + 1.5 Combine like terms: 1.118033989 + 1.5 = 2.618033989 d = 2.618033989 Simplifying d = 2.618033989

Subproblem 2

d + -1.5 = -1.118033989 Simplifying d + -1.5 = -1.118033989 Reorder the terms: -1.5 + d = -1.118033989 Solving -1.5 + d = -1.118033989 Solving for variable 'd'. Move all terms containing d to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '1.5' to each side of the equation. -1.5 + 1.5 + d = -1.118033989 + 1.5 Combine like terms: -1.5 + 1.5 = 0.0 0.0 + d = -1.118033989 + 1.5 d = -1.118033989 + 1.5 Combine like terms: -1.118033989 + 1.5 = 0.381966011 d = 0.381966011 Simplifying d = 0.381966011
