Solve for h

Question

2(h-6) = -(16+3h)

Answer 1

2(h - 6) = -(16 + 3h)

 

2h - 12 = -16 - 3h

 

Add 3h to both sides:

 

5h - 12 = -16

 

Add 12 to both sides:

 

5h = -4

 

h = -4/5

Answer 2

1. Distribute

2. Collect like terms

3. Divide out the coefficient of variable h. This might give you a fraction; reduce it to lowest terms.
