Question

solve the equation $2h - 12 = 4$. how can you isolate $h$? $2h - 12 = 4$ $\\ + 12 \\ \\ + 12$ add 12 on both sides. $2h = 16$ $?$ on both sides. options: add, subtract, multiply by, divide by

Explanation:

Step1: Analyze the equation after adding 12

We have \(2h = 16\). To isolate \(h\), we need to perform an operation that will leave \(h\) by itself. Since \(h\) is multiplied by 2, we need to do the inverse operation.

Step2: Determine the operation

The inverse of multiplying by 2 is dividing by 2. So we should divide both sides of the equation \(2h = 16\) by 2.

Answer:

The operation is "Divide by" and we divide by "2" on both sides. So the first dropdown should be "Divide by" and the second dropdown should be "2".
