We are doing multi-step equations in math. And this equation is kind of hard for me because the variable is alone.
h-6+7h=42 What does "h" equal?
Is your problem to see that
h + 7h = 8h ?
What if I said:
"a hat and 7hats"
wouldn't I have 8 hats ?
so
h-6 + 7h = 42
8h -6 = 42
8h -6 +6 = 42+6 , add 6 to both sides
8h = 48
divide both sides by 8
8h/8 = 48/8
h = 6
Thanks!!!
To solve the equation h-6+7h=42 and find the value of h, you need to follow these steps:
Step 1: Combine like terms:
Combine the h terms on the left side of the equation: h + 7h = 8h.
So the equation becomes 8h - 6 = 42.
Step 2: Isolate the variable:
To isolate the variable, you need to move the constant term (in this case, -6) to the other side of the equation. Since -6 is subtracted from 8h, you can perform the opposite operation and add 6 to both sides:
8h - 6 + 6 = 42 + 6.
Simplifying, 8h = 48.
Step 3: Solve for the variable:
To find the value of h, divide both sides of the equation by the coefficient of h (in this case, 8):
8h/8 = 48/8.
Simplifying, h = 6.
Therefore, the value of h is 6.
