Question

-h/3 - 17 = 25

Geometry. show all work :)

Answer 1

-3(-h/3 - 17) = 25 (-3)
h + 51 = -75
-51 -51
h= -126

Answer 2

`{ \tt{ - (h)/(3) - 17 = 25 }} \\`

• Apply additional property of equality:

`→ \: { \tt{ - (h)/( 3) = 25 + 17 }} \\ \\ → \: { \tt{ - (h)/(3) = 42}}`

• Apply cross multiplication, multiply either sides by -3:

`→ \: { \tt{( - (h)/(3) * - 3) = 42 * - 3 }} \\ \\ → \: { \tt{h = - 3 * 42}} \\ \\ → \: { \underline{ \tt{ \: \: h = - 126 \: }}}`
