Question

Type the correct answer in each box. Use numerals instead of words. Consider the equation below. x/h+1=-2 The value of x in terms of h is ___. The value of x when h=4 is ___.

Answer 1

x = -3h

x = -12

Explanation:

Given equation is
`(x)/(h)+1=-2`

To find the value of x in terms of h we will solve the expression to isolate x on one side of the equation.

by subtracting 1 from both the sides of the equation,

`(x)/(h)+1-1=-2-1`

`(x)/(h)=-3`

Multiplying 'h' on both the sides of the equation,

`((x)/(h))* h = (-3)h`

x = -3h

If h = 4,

x = (-3)(4)

x = -12
