Answer:
x = 40
Step-by-step explanation:
Adding 23 to both sides gives us:
x - 23 + 23 = 17 + 23
x = 40
Answer:
h = 12
General Formulas and Concepts:
<u>Pre-Algebra</u>
- Order of Operations: BPEMDAS
- Equality Properties
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Step 1: Define equation</u>
0.75h + 3 = 12
<u>Step 2: Solve for </u><em><u>h</u></em>
- Subtract 3 on both sides: 0.75h = 9
- Divide 0.75 on both sides: h = 12
<u>Step 3: Check</u>
<em>Plug in h into the original equation to verify it's a solution.</em>
- Substitute in <em>h</em>: 0.75(12) + 3 = 12
- Multiply: 9 + 3 = 12
- Add: 12 = 12
Here we see that 12 does indeed equal 12.
∴ h = 12 is a solution of the equation.
