Simplify the expression
9 + 10h + -5h = 0
Please show steps
Simplify like terms which means to combine the 10h -5h which is 5h
9 + 5h = 0
subtract 9 from both sides
5h = 9
Divide by 5 to get h = 9/5
0 - 9 = -9
Thank you
It is -9 sorry about the typo.. I am glad Ms. Sue caught that.
To simplify the given expression 9 + 10h + -5h = 0, let's combine the like terms.
Step 1: Combine the h-terms on the left side:
10h + -5h can be rewritten as (10 - 5)h.
(10 - 5)h = 5h.
Step 2: Rewrite the equation with the simplified expression:
9 + 5h = 0.
And there you have it! The simplified form of the expression 9 + 10h + -5h = 0 is 9 + 5h = 0.
