Question

example 1: one - step literal equation. we are going to solve this literal equation for h. 1) use the pencil tool to circle the variable we are solving for. 2) which operation should we perform on both sides of the equation to solve for h? divide by h, subtract h, subtract b, divide by b. a = bh

Explanation:

Step1: Isolate variable h

We want to solve $A = bh$ for $h$. Since $b$ and $h$ are multiplied, we use the inverse - operation of multiplication.

Step2: Apply division

Divide both sides of the equation $A = bh$ by $b$ (assuming $b
eq0$) to get $h=\frac{A}{b}$. So the operation to perform on both sides to solve for $h$ is divide by $b$.

Answer:

Divide by b
