Question

5/6h + 8 = -2 & 1/5c + 9 = -15
What do h and c equal?

Answer 1

Explanation:

Let's solve each equation separately:

5/6h + 8 = -2

Subtracting 8 from both sides gives:

5/6h = -10

Multiplying both sides by 6/5 gives:

h = -12

Therefore, h equals -12.

Now let's solve the second equation:

1/5c + 9 = -15

Subtracting 9 from both sides gives:

1/5c = -24

Multiplying both sides by 5 gives:

c = -120

Therefore, c equals -120.

To summarize, we found that h equals -12 and c equals -120.
