Question

Solve the equation 7h-5(3h-8) = 72

Answer 1

Steps:

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

7h−5(3h−8)=72

7h+(−5)(3h)+(−5)(−8)=72(Distribute)

7h+−15h+40=72

(7h+−15h)+(40)=72(Combine Like Terms)

−8h+40=72 −8h+40=72

Step 2: Subtract 40 from both sides.

−8h+40−40=72−40

−8h=32

Step 3: Divide both sides by -8

Answer:  h=−4

The answer for this question is h=-4

Answer 2

Answer:

h = -4

Step-by-step explanation:

7h-5(3h-8) = 72

Distribute

7h - 15h +40 = 72

Combine like terms

-8h +40 = 72

Subtract 40 from each side

-8h+40-40 = 72-40

-8h = 32

Divide each side by -8

-8h/-8 = -32/-8

h = -4
