Question

5h-2(11-h)=h-4 what’s the value of h

Answer 1

Answer:

The correct answer is h = 3.

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this problem, we should first use the distributive property on the left side of the equation.  This means that we can multiply each of the terms inside the parentheses by -2 (be careful that you distribute the negative as well).  This is modeled below:

5h - 2(11 - h) = h - 4

5h - 22 + 2h = h - 4

Next, we can combine like terms on the left side of the equation.

7h - 22 = h - 4

Now, we can subtract h from both sides of the equation to move all of the variable terms to the left side of the equation.

6h - 22 = - 4

Next, we can add 22 to both sides of the equation to isolate the variable term on the left side of the equation.

6h = 18

Finally, we can divide both sides by 6 in order to get the variable completely isolated.

h = 3

Therefore, the correct answer is h = 3.

Hope this helps!
