Final answer:
The solution to the equation h + 1.5 = 8.4 is h = 6.9. After substituting the value of h back into the original equation, we confirm that the solution is correct, making option A (6.9) the right answer.
Step-by-step explanation:
The student is asking to solve the equation h + 1.5 = 8.4. To find the value of h, we subtract 1.5 from both sides of the equation.
h + 1.5 - 1.5 = 8.4 - 1.5
h = 8.4 - 1.5
h = 6.9
So the solution to the equation is h = 6.9. To check this solution, we substitute 6.9 for h in the original equation:
6.9 + 1.5 = 8.4
8.4 = 8.4
Since the left side equals the right side, our solution is correct.
Therefore, the correct answer from the choices provided is A (6.9).
