Answer:

The answer to the equation -18h = 72 is h = -4.

Explanation:

How can we solve this?

To solve this question, we need to go through the steps of isolating the variable. Since most of them are done, the only one left is dividing.

-18h = 72

-18h/-18 = 72/-18

multiples of -18: -18, -36, -54, -72

-18 goes into 72 4 times. And, since the 18 is negative, the 4 is too.

So, the answer is h = -4.

\huge\text{Hey there!}



\mathsf{-18h = 72}


\large\text{DIVIDE }\rm{-18}\large\text{ to BOTH SIDES}


\mathsf{(-18h)/(-18) = (72)/(-18)}


\large\text{SIMPLIFY it}


\mathsf{h = (72)/(-18)}


\mathsf{h = -4}



\huge\text{Therefore your answer should be:}


\huge\boxed{\mathsf{h = -4}}\huge\checkmark
