Question

solve for h, 5(3h - 18) = -7 + 20h + 17 h =

Explanation:

Step1: Expand left-hand side

$5(3h - 18) = 15h - 90$

Step2: Simplify right-hand side

$-7 + 20h + 17 = 20h + 10$

Step3: Set sides equal, isolate h

$15h - 90 = 20h + 10$
$15h - 20h = 10 + 90$
$-5h = 10$

Step4: Solve for h

$h = \frac{10}{-5}$

Answer:

$h = -2$
