    d = 3c - 1

    d = 5c + 2

    Substituting the d in the first equation for the d in the second equation

    3c - 1= 5c + 2

    Subtract 3c from both sides

    -1 = 2c + 2

    Subtract 2 from both sides

    -3 = 2c

    Divide both sides by 2

    -3/2 = c

    c = -3/2 <-----

    Substitute c = -3/2 in the first equation

    d = 3(-3/2) - 1

    d = -9/2 - 1

    d = -9/2 - 2/2

    d = -11/2 <-----
