Question

1/3(-9 - 24h) = 37 help please!

Answer 1

h = -5

Explanation:

`(1)/(3)\left(-9-24h\right)=37\\\\\mathrm{Multiply\:both\:sides\:by\:}3\\3*(1)/(3)\left(-9-24h\right)=37*\:3\\\\Simplify\\-9-24h=111\\\\\mathrm{Add\:}9\mathrm{\:to\:both\:sides}\\-9-24h+9=111+9\\\\Simplify\\-24h=120\\\\\mathrm{Divide\:both\:sides\:by\:}-24\\(-24h)/(-24)=(120)/(-24)\\\\Simplify\\h=-5`

Answer 2

h = -5

Explanation:

1/3(-9 - 24h) = 37

Multiply each side by 3

3*1/3(-9 - 24h) = 37 *3

-9-24h = 111

Add 9 to each side

-9-24h+9 = 111+9

-24h = 120

Divide by -24

-24h/-24 = 120/-24

h = -5
