4 (h + 2) = 3 (h - 2)

anonymous · Answer

4h + 8 = 3h - 6
what do you do after distribution?

anonymous · Answer

Take all the "h" terms to one side and the numbers to the other. Keep in mind that everything changes signs when you switch side,s what do you get?

anonymous · Answer

4h - (-3h) = 6 - (-8) ?

anonymous · Answer

Eh...no.
4(h + 2) = 3(h -2)
4h + 8 = 3h - 6
4h - 3h = -6 -8
h = ?

anonymous · Answer

h = -14

anonymous · Answer

Very good.

anonymous · Answer

my math teacher doesnt explain things to me in class ): 
when 3h switches sides, why doesnt it turn into a negative?

anonymous · Answer

It does.
4(h + 2) = 3(h -2)
4h + 8 = 3h - 6
4h - 3h = -6 -8
h = ?

Look that 3h became -3h when we brought it to the left side.
