Solve the following equation
2h+8=5h+2
Solve for h
2h + 8 = 5h + 2
Group our variables 2h and 5h
subtract 5h from both sides
2h + 8 - 5h = 5h + 2 - 5h
-3h + 8 = 2
2h | |
2 |
= |
8 |
2 |
Group our constants 8 and 2.
subtract 8 from both sides
-3h + 8 - 8 = 2 - 8
-3h = -6
-3h | |
-3 |
= |
-6 |
-3 |
h = 2
