1/2(w-h)=hn+5p
Please help me with this if possible :)
Jolie uses 2 tomatoes every day to prepare her salad. If n equals the number of tomatoes Jolie had before she made her salad and c equals the number of tomatoes left after the salad is made, which equation represents the number of tomatoes Jolie has after she made her salad?
n-2 = c
c = n − 2
To solve the equation 1/2(w-h) = hn + 5p, we can start by simplifying both sides of the equation.
Step 1: Distribute the 1/2 to both terms within the parentheses on the left side:
1/2(w) - 1/2(h) = hn + 5p
Step 2: Simplify the left side by multiplying each term by 1/2:
(w/2) - (h/2) = hn + 5p
Step 3: Combine like terms on the left side:
(w - h)/2 = hn + 5p
Step 4: Multiply both sides of the equation by 2 to eliminate the fraction:
2 * ((w - h)/2) = 2 * (hn + 5p)
This yields:
w - h = 2hn + 10p
Now, the equation is simplified to w - h = 2hn + 10p.
