Porter des valeurs dans une formule means to replace the variables in a formula by some values.
I would translate without passive voice eg "...as it should, when d?, d? and d? take the values (73), (77) and (80)"
Or, if you want to be closer to the original, "...as it should, when therein substituting the values (73), (77) and (80) for d?, ..."
