Question

V=s^2+ 1/2sh, solve for H.

No idea, I'm completely stuck on this sort of thing. If someone could work it out so I could see how it's done, that would be lovely.

Answer 1

v = s^2 +1/2sh
Reorder so common terms are on one side.
s^2 +(sh)/2 = v
Subtract s^2 from both sides.
(sh)/2 = -s^2 +v
Multiply both sides of the equation by 2.
sh = -s^2 *2 +v *2
Simplify each term.
sh = -2s^2 +2v
Divide each term by s and simplify.

h = -2s + (2v)/s
