Simplifying 25h + 40 = 15h + -80 Reorder the terms: 40 + 25h = 15h + -80 Reorder the terms: 40 + 25h = -80 + 15h Solving 40 + 25h = -80 + 15h Solving for variable 'h'. Move all terms containing h to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '-15h' to each side of the equation. 40 + 25h + -15h = -80 + 15h + -15h Combine like terms: 25h + -15h = 10h 40 + 10h = -80 + 15h + -15h Combine like terms: 15h + -15h = 0 40 + 10h = -80 + 0 40 + 10h = -80 Add '-40' to each side of the equation. 40 + -40 + 10h = -80 + -40 Combine like terms: 40 + -40 = 0 0 + 10h = -80 + -40 10h = -80 + -40 Combine like terms: -80 + -40 = -120 10h = -120 Divide each side by '10'. h = -12 Simplifying h = -12

25h + 40 = -15 h - 80 25h + 15h = -80 - 40 40 h = -120 h = -3

h = -3
