### Problem Statement

#### Variables:
- \( a = 2 \)
- \( a = a + a \)
- \( b = a + 5 \)

#### Question:
What is the value of \( d \) if \( d = a \times (b^3) \)?

### Solution Process:
1. **Initial Value of \( a \):**
   \[
   a = 2
   \]
2. **Update \( a \):**
   \[
   a = a + a = 2 + 2 = 4
   \]
3. **Calculate \( b \):**
   \[
   b = a + 5 = 4 + 5 = 9
   \]
4. **Calculate \( d \):**
   \[
   d = a \times (b^3) = 4 \times (9^3)
   \]
5. **Compute \( b^3 \):**
   \[
   b^3 = 9 \times 9 \times 9 = 729
   \]
6. **Final Calculation for \( d \):**
   \[
   d = 4 \times 729 = 2916
   \]

**Answer:** \( d = 2916 \)
