Question

What is the equation 22-2h=-5?

Answer 1

Answer:

h = -9

Step-by-step explanation:

Simplifying

5h + 22 + -2h = -5

Reorder the terms:

22 + 5h + -2h = -5

Combine like terms: 5h + -2h = 3h

22 + 3h = -5

Solving

22 + 3h = -5

Solving for variable 'h'.

Move all terms containing h to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '-22' to each side of the equation.

22 + -22 + 3h = -5 + -22

Combine like terms: 22 + -22 = 0

0 + 3h = -5 + -22

3h = -5 + -22

Combine like terms: -5 + -22 = -27

3h = -27

Divide each side by '3'.

h = -9

Simplifying

h = -9
