Question

What is the answer to this word equation? h +(2h - 1000) = 4400

Answer 1

h+2h−1000=4400

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

h+2h−1000=4400

h+2h+−1000=4400

(h+2h)+(−1000)=4400(Combine Like Terms)

3h+−1000=4400

3h−1000=4400

Step 2: Add 1000 to both sides.

3h−1000+1000=4400+1000

3h=5400

Step 3: Divide both sides by 3.

3h3=54003

h=1800

Answer:

h=1800

Answer 2

h = 1800

Explanation:

Equations

Solve the following equation:

h + (2h - 1000) = 4400

Remove the parentheses. No changes are done because it doesn't have any operation of multiplication or division:

h + 2h - 1000 = 4400

Joining like terms on the left side:

3h - 1000 = 4400

Adding 1000:

3h = 5400

Dividing by 3:

h = 5400/3 = 1800

h = 1800
