Question

I need to know what -(6h + 7) + 8 = -19 is

Answer 1

10/3

Explanation:

-1(6h + 7) = -6h - 7

-6h - 7 + 8 = -6h + 1

-6h + 1 = -19

-1 -1 - Subtract 1 from both sides.

-6h = -20

-6 -6 - Divide both sides by negative 6

h = 10/3

Answer 2

h = 10/3

Explanation:

-(6h + 7) + 8 = -19

Subtract 8 from each side

-(6h + 7) + 8-8 = -19-8

-(6h + 7) = -27

Divide by a negative

6h+7 = 27

subtract 7

6h+7-7 = 27-7

6h = 20

Divide by 6

6h/6 = 20/6

h = 10/3
