SUMMARY
The algebraic equation (k*16*10^(-6))/d^2=(k*16e-6)/(30-d)^2 simplifies to 20(3-d)^2=d^2, leading to the solution d=2. The manipulation involves canceling the k terms, reciprocating both sides, and expanding the resulting expressions. The discussion highlights the importance of careful algebraic manipulation to avoid errors in simplification.
