Answer:
d \ge 1 \ \text{ or } \ d \le -3\\\\

Both parts are needed to form the full solution set.

=============================================

Work Shown:


3|d+1|-7 \ge -1\\\\3|d+1| \ge 6\\\\|d+1| \ge 2\\\\d+1 \ge 2 \ \text{ or } \ d+1 \le -2\\\\d \ge 1 \ \text{ or } \ d \le -3\\\\

In the second step, I added 7 to both sides. In the third step, I divided both sides by 3. Afterward, I used the rule that
|x| \ge k breaks down into
x \ge k \ \text{ or } \ x \le -k for some positive value k. The last thing to do is to subtract 1 from both sides to fully isolate d.
