Answer:

<h2><u>B.</u> <u>It must be a positive number since it represents a number of hours.</u></h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

I got it right on EDG.

<em />

Simplifying

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

Reorder the terms:

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

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

7h + (40 + -15h) = -72

Reorder the terms:

40 + 7h + -15h = -72

Combine like terms: 7h + -15h = -8h

40 + -8h = -72

Solving

40 + -8h = -72

Solving for variable 'h'.

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

Add '-40' to each side of the equation.

40 + -40 + -8h = -72 + -40

Combine like terms: 40 + -40 = 0

0 + -8h = -72 + -40

-8h = -72 + -40

Combine like terms: -72 + -40 = -112

-8h = -112

Divide each side by '-8'.

h = 14

Simplifying

h = 14

MrMuchimi

Answer:

To draw the perpendicular bisector of any line segment, the compass opening should be the kept constant at any value a little more than half the length of the line segment. Then the compass point should be kept on one end and arcs drawn above and below and then keeping the same compass opening the same as mentioned before, the compass point should be placed on the other end and the arcs should be drawn above and below the segment touching the previous arcs.

Thus, out of the given options, the first option best suits the next step Herberto should take.
