Let <em>x</em> = 0.555…

Then 10<em>x</em> = 5.555…

Subtract one from the other to get

10<em>x</em> - <em>x</em> = 5.555… - 0.555…

Notice how the fractional parts on the right cancel. This leaves you with

9<em>x</em> = 5

and so

<em>x</em> = 5/9

H+3h+4h=100 how do i get h?
Dominik [7]

Answer:

h = 12.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Simplifying

h + 3h + 4h = 100

Combine like terms: h + 3h = 4h

4h + 4h = 100

Combine like terms: 4h + 4h = 8h

8h = 100

Solving

8h = 100

Solving for variable 'h'.

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

Divide each side by '8'.

h = 12.5

Simplifying

h = 12.5
