Answer 1

Hello @TLCarlisle41 Welcome to openstudy :)

Answer 2

Do you know how to start?

Answer 3

No

Answer 4

Well start off by moving that 4 over to the other side

Answer 5

So I subtract 4 from both sides

Answer 6

Yup, and what do you get?

Answer 7

1h or h

Answer 8

1-h

Answer 9

You don't combine numbers and terms if they're not alike

Answer 10

Is it 1-h

Answer 11

Yup, so now you have:
1-h=2gk

Answer 12

The 2 and k are being multiplied so how do you undo multiplication?

Answer 13

Divide

Answer 14

Yea, so just divide everything by 2k

Answer 15

Does the h and k cancel each other out?that would leave1=2g

Answer 16

No, you can't cancel

Answer 17

So it would be 1-h/2k=2g/2k

Answer 18

Thanks

Answer 19

I'm sorry about that, but no it would be:
\[\frac{1-h}{2k}=g\]
