Question

Solution -9-8(1+4h)= -17

Answer 1

Step 1. Add 9 to both sides

$-8(1+4h)=-17+9$

Step 2. Simplify $-17+9$ to $-8$

$-8(1+4h)=-8$

Step 3. Divide both sides by $-8$

$1+4h=1$

Step 4. Cancel 1 on both sides

$4h=0$
 Step 5. Divide both sides by 4

$h=0$

Done! :) Hope this helps! :)

To check $-9-8(1+4h)=-17$ follow these steps below:

Step 1. Let h = 0

$-9-8*(1+4*0)=-17$

Step 2. Simplify 4 * 0 to 0

$-9-8*(1+0)=-17$

Step 3. Simplify 1 + 0 to 1

$-9-8*1=-17$

Step 4. Simplify  8 * 1 to 8

$-9-8=-17$

Step 5. Simplify -9 -8 to -17

$-17=-17$

Done! :)
 

Answer 2

-9 -8 (1+4h) = -17

-9 -8 - 32h = -17

-17 -32h = -17

-32h = 0

h = 0
