Question

1/2h - 1 = 3/8

Answer 1

h = 11/4 is the answer ^_^ i could provide a step by step if you want

Answer 2

the answer is 8 on my algebra book

Answer 3

Rearrange 1/2*h-1-(3/8)=0
h

Simplify — - 1
2

Rewrite the whole as a fraction using 2 as the denominator :

1 1 • 2
1 = — = —————
1 2
Combine the numerators together, put the sum or difference over the common denominator then reduce to lowest terms if possible:

h - (2) h - 2
——— = ————
2 2

(h - 2) 3
———— - — = 0
2 8

Then h-2 3
Simplify —— - —
2 8

I mean i could show the rest, but if that's not the way its suppose to look like, then i guess im doing the wrong method :c

Also, the answers in a text book are not always correct, just saying

Answer 4

Ok so im just gonna skip to when i went to step 3, (didnt write it above)

(h-2) • 4 - (3) 4h - 11
———————— = ———————
8 8
4h-11
Solve ————— = 0
8

4h-11
————— • 8 = 0 • 8
8
Now, on the left hand side, the 8 cancels out the denominator, while, on the right hand side, zero times anything is still zero.

The equation now takes the shape :
4h-11 = 0

Add 11 to both sides of the equation :
4h = 11
Divide both sides of the equation by 4:
h = 11/4

h = 11/4
