Samuel solved the equation h – 234 = 1,192 and found the solution to be h = 958. Is he correct? He is right I think because when you subtract 234 from 1192 it equals 958 right?

The answer is B.

He is incorrect. He subtracted 234 from 1,192. He is supposed to add 234 into 1,192 = 1,426.

Jordan is right 👌

nope.

You want a number big enough that when you subtract 234, you end up with 1192.

That would be 1192+234 = 1426

If you plug in 1426 for h in the equation, you see that

1426 - 234 = 1192

958 is the solution to h+234=1192

Yes, you are correct. To verify Samuel's solution, we can follow these steps:

1. Start with the equation given: h - 234 = 1,192.
2. To isolate the variable h, we want to eliminate the -234 on the left side of the equation.
3. We can do this by adding 234 to both sides of the equation:
h - 234 + 234 = 1,192 + 234.
Simplifying the equation further: h = 1,426.
4. So, the solution to the equation h - 234 = 1,192 is h = 1,426.
5. However, Samuel found the solution to be h = 958, which is not correct.
If we substitute h = 958 into the original equation, we get 958 - 234 = 1,192 - which is not true.
6. Therefore, Samuel made an error while solving the equation.

In conclusion, Samuel's solution of h = 958 is incorrect. The correct solution should be h = 1,426.
