Answer 1

Which of the following shows the right side of the equation after applying a reasonable first step to solve \[\frac{ -h }{ 2 } + -\frac{ 1 }{ 4 } = \frac{ 4 }{ 9} \]

Answer 2

A) \[\frac{ 4 }{ 9 } - \frac{ 1 }{ 4 }\]

B) \[\frac{ 4 }{ 9 } + \frac{ 4 }{ 9 }\]

C) \[\frac{ 4 }{ 9 } + \frac{ 1 }{ 4 }\]

D) \[\frac{ 4 }{ 9 } - \frac{ 4 }{ 9 }\]

Answer 3

if you add 1/4 to both sides, you will isolate the term with h on the left...

Answer 4

@pgpilot326 ok can you show

Answer 5

C

Answer 6

@groges lol ty

Answer 7

@phi is that right?

Answer 8

u should add 1/4 to both sides as said above.. this will cancel the -1/4, and leave the right hand side looking like 4/9 + 1/4

Answer 9

@groges i see

Answer 10

if you start with
\[ \frac{ -h }{ 2 } + -\frac{ 1 }{ 4 } = \frac{ 4 }{ 9} \]

a good first step is to "move" the -1/4 so that you have a single term with h in it
to move -1/4 you add 1/4 to both sides
\[ \frac{ -h }{ 2 } + -\frac{ 1 }{ 4 } +\frac{ 1 }{ 4 }= \frac{ 4 }{ 9}+\frac{ 1 }{ 4 } \]
the idea is 1/4 minus 1/4 is 0 so that simplifies to
\[ \frac{ -h }{ 2 } = \frac{ 4 }{ 9} + \frac{ 1 }{ 4 }\]

Answer 11

@phi ty!
