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.
