Question

solve the equation for the indicated variable
\[A=1/2h(B+b) for \] h

Answer 1

\[A=\frac{1}{2}h(B+b) \]
is this the equation ?

Answer 2

yes, i couldnt figure out how to make he h in the middle

Answer 3

Ok so first multiply both sides by 2

Answer 4

\[2 \times A = 2 \times \frac{1}{2}h(B+b)\]

Answer 5

Now what happens to the 2's in the right side?

Answer 6

do they cancel out?

Answer 7

Yes!!

Answer 8

Now what do you have ?

Answer 9

2xA=h(B+b) ?

Answer 10

Right!! :)

Answer 11

Now you have to isolate h

what do you think you can do ?

Answer 12

do you subtract the h from both sides?

Answer 13

Nope
its multipplication so you cant subtract it

we divide both sides by (B+b)

Answer 14

2A = h x (B+b)
so divide both sides by (B+b) so that we can isolate h (since (B+b) will cancell out )

Answer 15

2xA/B+b the other cancells out correct?

Answer 16

yes!!! :)\[\Huge h= \frac{2A}{(B+b)}\]

Answer 17

just 2A i didnt need the multiply sign anymore got it

Answer 18

:)

Answer 19

ty, that made it easy your the best!

Answer 20

You're Welcome :)) Glad to help!!!
