55h + 275 = 440

Do I subtract 55 from 275 ?

No.

Think about what that equation means. 55 times some number plus 275 = 440.

Subtract 275 from 440.

Then divide both sides by 55.

If you want to find h, you need to get it by itself. So, first subtract 275 from both sides of the equation:

55h + 275 = 440
55h = 165
Now, you have to divide by 55, so you wind up with just a single h:
h = 165/55
h = 3

Check your answer

55*3 + 275 = 165+275 = 440

Thank you both of you guys. Details helped a lot. I was stressing on this one.

I might be dumb rn but the answer is 3 hours, right?

we asking like their going to respond =_=

To solve this equation, you need to isolate the variable, which in this case is "h".

The equation you provided is:
55h + 275 = 440

To isolate "h", you need to move all other terms to the other side of the equation.

Start by subtracting 275 from both sides of the equation to eliminate it from the left side:
(55h + 275) - 275 = 440 - 275
55h = 165

Now, you have the equation:
55h = 165

To solve for "h", divide both sides of the equation by 55:
55h/55 = 165/55
h = 3

So, the solution to the equation is h = 3.

To summarize, you need to subtract 275 from both sides of the equation to eliminate it from the left side and isolate the variable "h".
