#d=-48#

Explanation:

To eliminate the fraction on the left side along with the leading negative sign, multiply #color(blue)"all terms"# by -4.

#cancel(-4)^1xxd/cancel(-4)^1+(-4xx3)=(-4xx15)#

#rArrd-12=-60#

To solve for d, add 12 to both sides.

#d cancel(-12)cancel(+12)=-60+12#

#rArrd=-48" is the solution to the equation."#
