Question

Solve the equation for h:

S= lw + wh + hl

Would I solve for both h's or just one?

Answer 1

well h=h so you will only need to solve for one

Answer 2

you need to isolate the h, so first step is to move the lw, to the other side

Answer 3

so you have

S - lw = wh + hl

Answer 4

now you can write the problem as

S - lw = h(w+l)

Answer 5

K so I can either solve for the h in wh or hl..?

Answer 6

now just divide by w + l and you have

S - lw
------ = h
w+l

Answer 7

Ohhh I didn't look at it that way... Thanks!

Answer 8
