Answer:

h=5/18

Explanation:

Hi there!

If you try to solve 1/2-h=2/9 for h immediately, you will find that you cannot because the denominator is odd for 2/9. Multiply 2 for the numerator and the denominator to get 4/18. Now we have 1/2-h=4/18. Multiply the numerator and denominator by 9 to get 9/18-h=4/18. H=5/18.

Answer:


\boxed{h=(5)/(18)}

Explanation:


\textsf {$(1)/(2) - h$ = $(2)/(9)$}

1. Subact
(1)/(2) from both sides:


\textsf {$(1)/(2) - h$ = $(2)/(9)$}\\\\\textsf {$(1)/(2)-(1)/(2) - h$ = $(2)/(9) -(1)/(2)$}\\\\\textsf {$-h$ = $(4-9)/(18)$}\\\\\textsf {$-h$ = $(-5)/(18)$}

2. Divide both sides by -1


\textsf {$-h$ = $(-5)/(18)$}\\/ -1 /-1\\\\ \boxed{h=(5)/(18)}

Final answer:
\boxed{h=(5)/(18)}

Hope this helps!
