solve equation

Question

-3=H+8÷2___________________________

Answer 1

The order of operations, which tells us the order to work math problems, is PEMDAS

P- parentheses 

E- exponents 

MD- multiple and divide

AS- add and subtract 

 

There are no parentheses or exponents in this equation so the first thing we do is divide. 

Once you divide, subtract on both sides to get the H on one side by itself and you should have your answer.

 

*be careful when subtracting from a negative number and check to make sure you end with the right sign. 

**check your work by plugging in the answer you found for H. Follow the order of operations and you should get -3=-3.
