Answer 2

\[\large \large h-48+17h=42\] You want to combine like term:
17h, and h are like term. This will give you 18h. Now your equation should look like:
-48+18h = 42
Now you want to get rid of -48 to solve for h. So:
-48+18h = 42
+48 +48
------------------
18h = 90
Last step is to divide!!!:
18h = 90
Divide 18 to get 5.
So h = 5!
Hope this help!
