Question

Solve the equation

2(h-8) - h=h - 16

A h = 8

B h= -8

C h = infinitely many solutions

D h = no solution

Answer 1

C h= infinitely many solutions

Explanation:

when you replace h with any number it is true

say h= 3

2(3-8) - h = h-16

2(-5) - 3 = 3 - 16

-10 - 3 = -13

-13 = -13

using distributive property:

2h-16-h = h-16

combine like terms

h-16=h-16

it is the same expression on both sides of the equal sign

hope that helps!

Answer 2

2(h-8)-h=h-16

2(h-8)=h+h-16

2(h-8)=2h-16

2(h-8)=2(h-8)

h-8=h-8

h-h=8-8

0=0 so their can be infinite value of h.

hence c is correct

we can put in place of anything but answer will be zero.
