Question

Solve this equation -9-6+12h+40=22

A. h=24
B. h= -4/7
D. h= -4

Answer 1

-9-6+12h+40=22
12h+25=22
12h=-23
h=-23/12

Answer 2

`h=-(1)/(4)`

Explanation:

We have been given an equation
`-9-6+12h+40=22`. We are asked to solve our given equation.

First of all, we combine like terms as shown below:

`-15+12h+40=22`

`12h+25=22`

Now, we will subtract 25 from both sides of our equation.

`12h+25-25=22-25`

`12h=-3`

Upon dividing both sides of our equation by 12, we will get:

`(12h)/(12)=(-3)/(12)`

`h=-(1)/(4)`

Therefore, the solution for our given equation is
`h=-(1)/(4)`.
