Question

Solve the equation -3h + 6 = -15 for h.

Answer 1

Answer:

h = 7

Step-by-step explanation:

-3h + 6 = -15

Get rid of the 6 by subtracting it from both sides.

-3h + 6 - 6 = -15 - 6

-3h = -21

Get rid of the -3 by dividing it from both sides.

-3h/-3 = -21/-3

h = 7

Answer 2

$\huge\textsf{Hey there!}$

$\textsf{-3h + 6 = -15}$

$\large\text{SUBTRACT 6 to BOTH SIDES}$

$\textsf{-3h + 6 - 6= -15 - 6}\\\\\\\large\text{CANCEL out: 6 - 6 because that gives you 0}\\\\\large\text{KEEP: -15 - 6 because that helps you solve for the h-value}\\\\\textsf{-15 - 6 = \bf -21}$

$\large\text{New equation: -3h = -21}$

$\large\text{DIVIDE -3 to BOTH SIDES}\\\\\mathsf{\dfrac{-3h}{-3}=\dfrac{-21}{-3}}\\\\\\\large\text{CANCEL out: }\mathsf{\dfrac{-3}{-3}}\large\text{ because that gives you 1}\\\\\\\large\text{KEEP: }\mathsf{\dfrac{-21}{-3}}\large\text{ because that solves for your h-value}$

$\mathsf{h = \dfrac{-21}{-3}}\\\\\\\mathsf{\dfrac{-21}{-3}=\bf 7}\\\\\\\\\mathsf{h = \bf 7}$

$\boxed{\boxed{\large\textsf{Answer: \huge\bf h = 7}}}\huge\checkmark$
