what is the answer showing work to 8(2h-10)=16h
8(2h-10)=16h
16h - 80 = 16h
32h = 80
h = 80/32
h = 2.5
Sorry, I have to disagree..
8(2h-10)=16h
16h-80=16h
Subtract 16h from both sides..
-80=0h
No solution
Oops. Jen is right. I must have had a short circuit in my brain.
To solve the equation 8(2h - 10) = 16h, we need to simplify both sides of the equation and isolate the variable "h". Let's break it down step by step:
1. Use the distributive property to distribute the 8 to both terms inside the parentheses:
16h - 80 = 16h
2. Notice that the variable "h" appears on both sides of the equation. To isolate it, we need to get rid of the 16h on the right side. We can do this by subtracting 16h from both sides:
16h - 16h - 80 = 16h - 16h
-80 = 0
3. Simplify the equation. We are left with -80 = 0. However, this equation is not true, which means there is no solution for "h" that satisfies the original equation.
Therefore, the equation 8(2h - 10) = 16h has no solution.
