You want to undo the +8, so subtract 8 from both sides to isolate h
OpenStudy (anonymous):
ok well how do i do that?
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
just subtract 8 from 8 on the left side (that gives you 0 and it goes away)
then subtract 8 from 11 on the right side (11 - 8 becomes ???)
OpenStudy (anonymous):
-3
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
11 - 8 is not -3

but you are close
OpenStudy (anonymous):
On any equation, if you do the same thing on both sides, it remains valid. In this case you want to eliminate the 8, so you can subtract 8 from both sides of the equation.
you end up with h+8-8=11-8
on the left side the +8 and -8 eliminate each other, and on the right side you get a value, so the end result is:
h=?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
ohh
OpenStudy (anonymous):
3
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
good, so h = 3 is the answer

Check:
h + 8 = 11
3 + 8 = 11 ... Plug in h = 3
11 = 11
So the answer is verified
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
h + 8 = 11 is basically asking "what number plus 8 equals 11?"
The answer to that question is 3 since 3+8 = 11
OpenStudy (anonymous):
???????
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
I'm just showing that 3 is indeed the correct answer
OpenStudy (anonymous):
o so i was right?

your second answer, yes
h = 3 is the answer
OpenStudy (anonymous):
ohh lol blonde moments haa!
OpenStudy (anonymous):
yes its 3

ok what is it
OpenStudy (anonymous):
what is -6 + t = -14?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
message me for help
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
-6 + SOME NUMBER = -14
is the same as saying
-6 + t = -14
We just replace that "SOME NUMBER" with a variable t
OpenStudy (anonymous):
k

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
to isolate t, we have to undo the -6, so we have to add 6 to both sides
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
On the left side: -6+6 =0, so this goes away
On the right side: -14 + 6 becomes ???
OpenStudy (anonymous):
so it would be 6+6?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
-
OpenStudy (anonymous):
noooooo

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
on the left side, you add 6 to -6 and that will give you zero

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
you do the same thing to the other side to get
-14 + 6 = ???
