The equation given to us is:
3.5(2h+4.5)=57.75

TO solve for
h, first divide both sides by 3.5


2h+4.5=(57.75)/(3.5)=16.5

Subtracting 4.5 from both sides we get:


2h=16.5-4.5=12

Finally, dividing both sides by 2, we will get the value of h as:


h=(12)/(2)=6

Therefore, Option A is the correct answer.

The answer is the option A, which is: A.
6

The explanation for this problem is shown below:

1. You have the following equation:


3.5(2h+4.5)=57.75

2. Apply the distributive property and solve for
h, as following:


7h+15.75=57.75\\ 7h=42\\ h=(42)/(7) \\ h=6

As you can see, the correct answer is the option mentioned before.
