Answer:

Explanation:

1.6h - 72 = 4h - 30

1.6h - 4h = -30 + 72

-2.4h = 42

h = 42 : (-2.4)

h = - 17.5

Answer: h = -17.5

Explanation:

Move the like-terms together on the right side and the other to the left side.
1.6h - 4h = 72 - 30

Subtract both sides:

1.6h - 4h = -2.4h

72 - 30 = 42
-2.4h = 42

Divide -2.4 by both sides

-2.4h/-2.4 = 42/-2.4

h = -17.5
