Anyone?
OpenStudy (inkyvoyd):
We want to isolate the variable first.
OpenStudy (pfenn1):
Rearrange and solve for h.
OpenStudy (inkyvoyd):
Thus we get rid of the 2.5h by subtracting 2.5h from both sides.
OpenStudy (inkyvoyd):
2.5h-15=4h
-> 2.5h-15-2.5h=4h-2.5h

->0-15=1.5h
->-15=1.5h
Divide both sides by 1.5
h=-10

I'M STUPID I'M NEVER GONNA LEARN :'(
OpenStudy (inkyvoyd):
You can't subtract -2.5h because that doesn't cancel the variables out on both sides
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Isn't that what you said ?
OpenStudy (inkyvoyd):
let me show you what happens
2.5h-15=4h
2.5h-15+2.5h=4h+2.5h
->5h-15=6.5h
OpenStudy (inkyvoyd):
We want to subtract 2.5h from both sides, because that gets rid of it on the left side.
