Question

Solve the equation -3h + 6 = -15 for h.

Answer 1

h = 7

Explanation:

-3h + 6 = -15

Get rid of the 6 by subtracting it from both sides.

-3h + 6 - 6 = -15 - 6

-3h = -21

Get rid of the -3 by dividing it from both sides.

-3h/-3 = -21/-3

h = 7

Answer 2

`\huge\textsf{Hey there!}`

`\textsf{-3h + 6 = -15}`

`\large\text{SUBTRACT 6 to BOTH SIDES}`

`\textsf{-3h + 6 - 6= -15 - 6}\\\\\\\large\text{CANCEL out: 6 - 6 because that gives you 0}\\\\\large\text{KEEP: -15 - 6 because that helps you solve for the h-value}\\\\\textsf{-15 - 6 = \bf -21}`

`\large\text{New equation: -3h = -21}`

`\large\text{DIVIDE -3 to BOTH SIDES}\\\\\mathsf{(-3h)/(-3)=(-21)/(-3)}\\\\\\\large\text{CANCEL out: }\mathsf{(-3)/(-3)}\large\text{ because that gives you 1}\\\\\\\large\text{KEEP: }\mathsf{(-21)/(-3)}\large\text{ because that solves for your h-value}`

`\mathsf{h = (-21)/(-3)}\\\\\\\mathsf{(-21)/(-3)=\bf 7}\\\\\\\\\mathsf{h = \bf 7}`

`\boxed{\boxed{\large\textsf{Answer: \huge\bf h = 7}}}\huge\checkmark`
