Samuel solved the equation h – 234 = 1,192 and found the solution to be h = 958. Is he correct? If not, why not?
A. Yes, he is correct, because h = 958.
B. No, he is not correct, because he did not add 234 and 1,192 to find the value of h, which is 1,426.
C. No, he is not correct, because he did not multiply 234 and 1,192.
D. No, he is not correct, because he did not subtract 234 from 1,192 correctly.
well, does 958 - 234 = 1192?
What is the whole quick check
To solve the equation h - 234 = 1,192, we need to isolate the variable h.
To do this, we can add 234 to both sides of the equation. By doing so, we can cancel out the -234 on the left side of the equation, leaving us with h on the left side and the sum of 234 and 1,192 on the right side.
Therefore, the correct answer is B. No, he is not correct, because he did not add 234 and 1,192 to find the value of h, which is 1,426.
