Solve the equation.

1. 5h - 9 = -16 + 6h (1 point)

A. 4
B. -7
C. 7
D. 10

I'm having trouble getting the answer, so I need help understanding.

5h - 9 = -16 + 6h

Add 16 to both sides.

5h - 9 + 16 = 6h

5h + 7 = 6h

Subtract 5h from both sides

7 = h

5h - 9 = -16 + 6h

subtract 5 h from both sides

- 9 = - 16 + 1 h
add 16 to both sides

7 = h
the end

That's what I got

To solve the equation 5h - 9 = -16 + 6h, we want to isolate the variable 'h' on one side of the equation.

Let's break down the steps needed to solve this equation:

Step 1: Move all terms containing 'h' to one side of the equation.
We can start by subtracting 6h from both sides of the equation:
5h - 6h - 9 = -16 + 6h - 6h
This simplifies to:
-h - 9 = -16

Step 2: Simplify the equation.
To simplify further, we can multiply both sides of the equation by -1 to eliminate the negative sign in front of '-h':
(-1)(-h - 9) = (-1)(-16)
This gives us:
h + 9 = 16

Step 3: Move the constant term to the other side of the equation.
We can subtract 9 from both sides of the equation:
h + 9 - 9 = 16 - 9
This simplifies to:
h = 7

Therefore, the solution to the equation 5h - 9 = -16 + 6h is h = 7.

The correct answer is option C.
