Question

Can anyone solve 5h-9=-16+6h

Answer 1

You can.

Subtract 5h.

Then what?

Answer 2

Both sides, just saying.

Answer 3

I know its 7 but not sure if its -7 or 7

Answer 4

Goal: To get "h" by itself on one side of the equation
How: Adding / Subtracting / Multiplying / Dividing numbers from BOTH sides of the equation. We do this by adding the opposite and dividing by coefficients.

Answer 5

We need to isolate h, so subtract both sides by 5h, then add both sides by 16. There you go.

Answer 6

Is this clear? @bgenevieve96

Answer 7

7

Answer 8

Yes!

Answer 9

Thanks just wanted to double check

Answer 10

I may be wrong, so you may need to triple check. ;)

Answer 11

Haha thanks

Answer 12

Seriously? It's mathematics, folks. Let's quite guessing.

5h-9=-16+6h

Subtract 5h

5h-9-5h=-16+6h-5h
5h-5h-9=-16+6h-5h
-9 = -16 + h

Add 16

-9 + 16 = -16 + h + 16
7 = -16 + 16 + h
7 = h

No more guessing. Be clear, consistent, and correct.

Answer 13

"Let's quite guessing."

Seriously?

Answer 14

Let's also quit spelling badly.
