Question

Solve each equation for the variable. h/2 + 3.5 = 7.1

Answer 1

To answer this question, we can proceed as follows:

`(h)/(2)+3.5=7.1`

1. Subtract 3.5 to both sides of the equation:

`(h)/(2)+3.5-3.5=7.1-3.5\Rightarrow(h)/(2)+0=3.6`

2. Multiply by 2 to both sides of the equation:

`2\cdot(h)/(2)=2\cdot3.6\Rightarrow h=7.2`

We can check this result as follows:

`(7.2)/(2)+3.5=3.6+3.5=7.1\Rightarrow7.1=7.1`

This result is TRUE. Then, the value for h = 7.2.
