Question

Solve for h.
h/6 − 1 = −3

h =

Answer 1

h = - 12

Explanation:

Add 1 to both sides of the equation

ℎ/6 − 1 + 1 = − 3 + 1

Simplify

ℎ/6 = − 3 + 1

h/6 = -2

Multiply all terms by the same value to eliminate fraction denominators

6 ⋅ ℎ/6 = 6 ( − 2 )

Cancel multiplied terms that are in the denominator

ℎ = 6 ( − 2 )

Multiply the numbers

ℎ = − 12

Answer 2

`h = - 12`

Explanation:

1) Add 1 to both sides.

`(h)/(6) = - 3 + 1`

2) Simplify -3 + 1 to -2.

`(h)/(6) = - 2`

3) Multiply both sides by 6.

`h = - 2 * 6`

4) Simplify 2 × 6 to 12.

`h = - 12`

Therefor, the answer is h = -12.
