Question

Samuel solved the equation h-234=1,192 and found the solution to be h=958. Is he correct? If not, why not?

Answer 1

he is incorrect because he did not add 234 to 1192

Explanation:

given h - 234 = 1192

to isolate h add 234 to both sides of the equation

h = 1192 + 234 = 1426

Answer 2

no he is not correct because he did not add 234 and 1192 to find the value of h, which is 1426

Explanation:

h-234 = 1192

add 234 to each side

h-234+234= 1192+234

h = 1192+234

h = 1426
