Question

Consider the following equation, bh+hr=25. solve the equation for h

Answer 1

`h=(25)/((b+r))`

Explanation:

We have the equation
`bh+hr=25`. Solve the equation for h means that we have to clear h.

Then first thing we can do is use common factor h.

`b.h+h.r=25\\h(b+r)=25`

Now, for the last step, we have to divide both sides of the equation in (b+r)

`h(b+r)=25\\\\(h(b+r))/((b+r)) =(25)/((b+r)) \\\\h=(25)/((b+r))`

Answer 2

bh+hr=25

factor out h

h(b+r) = 25

divide by (b+r)

h = 25/(b+r)
