Question

−5/6h−2/3h=−24 for h

Answer 1

Answer: h = 16

Explanation:

We will isolate the variable, h, with inverse operations and simplifying to solve for h.

Given:

`\displaystyle -(5)/(6)h-(2)/(3)h=-24`

Multiply both sides of the equation by 6:

➜ Why would we do this? This allows us to work without fractions.

-5h - 4h = -144

Combine like terms:

-9h = -144

Divide both sides of the equation by -9:

h = 16
