Question

Type the correct answer in each box. Use numerals instead of words. Consider the equation below. x/h+1=-2 The value of x in terms of h is ___. The value of x when h=4 is ___.

Answer 1

Answer:

x = -3h

x = -12

Step-by-step explanation:

Given equation is $\frac{x}{h}+1=-2$

To find the value of x in terms of h we will solve the expression to isolate x on one side of the equation.

by subtracting 1 from both the sides of the equation,

$\frac{x}{h}+1-1=-2-1$

$\frac{x}{h}=-3$

Multiplying 'h' on both the sides of the equation,

$(\frac{x}{h})\times h = (-3)h$

x = -3h

If h = 4,

x = (-3)(4)

x = -12
