Question

1) 5(h + 9) = 55 Distribute _____ to everything in parentheses.

Answer 1

9 + h = 55/5
9 + h = 11
11 - 9 = h
2 = h

The opposite of addition is subtraction, Subtract 9 from both sides, The opposite of multiplication is division, divide both sides by 5 is the first step, and final answer is h = 2.
