Question

solve this equation -9-6+12h+40=22

A. h=24
B. h= -4/7
D. h= -4

Answer 1

-9-6+12h+40=22
12h+25=22
12h=-23
h=-23/12

Answer 2

Answer:

$h=-\frac{1}{4}$

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given an equation $-9-6+12h+40=22$. We are asked to solve our given equation.

First of all, we combine like terms as shown below:

$-15+12h+40=22$

$12h+25=22$

Now, we will subtract 25 from both sides of our equation.

$12h+25-25=22-25$

$12h=-3$

Upon dividing both sides of our equation by 12, we will get:

$\frac{12h}{12}=\frac{-3}{12}$

$h=-\frac{1}{4}$

Therefore, the solution for our given equation is $h=-\frac{1}{4}$.
