See the entire solution process below:

Explanation:

First, expand the terms in parenthesis by multiplying each term within the parenthesis by the term outside the parenthesis:

6d + color(red)(4)(3d + 5) -> 6d + (color(red)(4) xx 3d) + (color(red)(4) xx 5) -> 6d + 12d + 206d+4(3d+5)→6d+(4×3d)+(4×5)→6d+12d+20

Now, combine like terms:

6d + 12d + 20 -> (6 + 12)d + 20 -> 18d + 206d+12d+20→(6+12)d+20→18d+20
