Answer 5

Can you explain it more

Answer 6

Have you learnt about the order of operations? where multiplication and division must come before addition and subtraction (we called it BODMAS when I was in school)

Because of this, you must divide h by 3 first, but we cant really because we have no idea what h is yet, but because this must happen first, the h and the 3 almost become linked, so we have to work with the other parts first

so lets look at -8
whatever h divided by 3 is, less 8 is 19

so 19 must be 19+8, right?

so if 19+8 (27) is h divided by 3, then 27 times 3 must be h, right?

also think about how it might be different if the question were 19 = h/(3-8)
In this case, the brackets force you to do the (3-8) first, or to keep them linked
Because we can do this, the equation just becomes 19 = h/5
then 19 is equal to h divided by 5, so h must be 19x5
