Question

Solve.
32 = 5h + 15 − 3h
h=2312
h=812
h = 16
h=218

Answer 1

h=8.5

I'm not sure why this isn't one of the options though....

Explanation:

32=5h+15-3h

combine like terms

32=2h+15

subtract 15 from both sides

17=2h

divide both sides by 2

8.5=h

Answer 2

8.5

Explanation:

To solve the equation 32 = 5h + 15 − 3h, we can combine like terms on the right side of the equation to get:

32 = 2h + 15

Then we can subtract 15 from both sides of the equation:

17 = 2h

Finally, we can divide both sides of the equation by 2 to solve for h:

h = 8.5

Therefore, h = 8.5 is the solution to the equation.
