Question

What is the value of h in the equation 8h = 60

Answer 1

h= 7.5

Explanation:

8h=60

One solution was found :

h = 15/2 = 7.500

Rearrange:

Rearrange the equation by subtracting what is to the right of the equal sign from both sides of the equation :

8*h-(60)=0

Step by step solution :

Step 1 :

Pulling out like terms :

1.1 Pull out like factors :

8h - 60 = 4 • (2h - 15)

Equation at the end of step 1 :

Step 2 :

Equations which are never true :

2.1 Solve : 4 = 0

This equation has no solution.

A a non-zero constant never equals zero.

Solving a Single Variable Equation :

2.2 Solve : 2h-15 = 0

Add 15 to both sides of the equation :

2h = 15

Divide both sides of the equation by 2:

h = 15/2 = 7.500

One solution was found :

h = 15/2 = 7.500

Answer 2

Answer: h = 7.5

Explanation: To solve for h in this equation, we want to to get h by itself on the left side of the equation.

Since h is being multiplied by 8, to get h by itself, we need to divide by 8 on the left side of the equation.

If we divide by 8 on the left side,

we must also divide by 8 on the right side.

On the left, the 8's cancel out so we are simply left with h.

On the right we have 60/8 which is 7.5.

So we have h = 7.5.
