Answer: 2(x+y)-25

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we need to show the sum of Roger and Olivia's heights. If Roger is x and Olivia is y, the sum is <em>x+y</em>

Next, we need to double that. To double something we multiply it by 2. Since we need double the expression we found above, we put it in parentheses. So the doubled sum is shown as <em>2(x+y)</em>

Finally, we need to show that Isabella is 25 centimeters shorter than the doubled sum. To do that, subtract 25.

The final expression for Isabella's height is 2(x+y)-25

Solve for h<br> h - 3h - 8 = 14<br> H=?
sweet [91]

The initial step that must be taken before solving almost any problem is to understand what the problem is asking for us to do and what is provided to us to complete that goal.  Looking at the problem statement, we can see that we are being requested to solve for h and we are provided an expression to do so.  Let's begin solving the expression by combining like terms.

<u>Combine like terms</u>

  • h - 3h - 8 = 14
  • (h - 3h) - 8 = 14
  • (- 2h) - 8 = 14

Just a quick explanation on what combine like terms means, it basically just means to combine the coefficients of the numbers associated with the same variables.  Like in this example we can combine h and -3h because they have have the variable h associated with them.

<u>Add 8 to both sides</u>

  • (- 2h) - 8 = 14
  • (- 2h) - 8+ 8 = 14 + 8
  • - 2h= 22

<u>Divide both sides by -2</u>

  • - 2h= 22
  • \frac{- 2h}{-2}= \frac{22}{-2}
  • h= \frac{22}{-2}

<u>Simplify the expression</u>

  • h= - \frac{22/2}{2/2}
  • h= - \frac{11}{1}
  • h= - 11

Therefore, after completing the steps above we were able to determine that the value of h is equal to -11.
