Answer 2

Alright let me do the work then ill try to help

Answer 3

cool thx

Answer 4

Lets do #1 first, You have to combine like terms....Do you know how to do that?

Answer 5

no I forgot how to do that

Answer 6

ok so lets shorten the equation on the left side of the equals sign. -17-6 is what?

Answer 7

-23

Answer 8

cool so now we have -7h-23+4h=17-h

Now lets get rid of the -23 on the left side of the equation.... Can you do that? If not merely add 23 to both sides. What are you left with?

Answer 9

huh I don't understand?

Answer 10

we are trying to isolate x on one side so we are shortening the equation. Add 23 to each side to cancel out the -23 on the left side

Answer 11

Youd be left with -7h+4h=40-h because you added 23 to both sides

Answer 12

oh ok

Answer 13

Now we should get rid of the -h that is on the right side, so just add x to both sides, what are you left with?

Answer 14

add h* sorry

Answer 15

I don't understand. why am I adding h and were?

Answer 16

you are adding h to cancel out the -h on the right side, so add h to both sides and you're left with either -6h+4h=40 or -7h+4h=50 you can choose whichever

Answer 17

do you understand so far? yeah I know its alot

Answer 18

yea I get it now

Answer 19

Ok so lets choose -6h+4h=40


Now we have to combine like terms again so lets shorten the left side of the equation.... Just do the addition of -6h and 4h. What are you left with?
