Question

2. Consider the following equation x = rh/y Part A: Solve the equation for h.​

Answer 1

Answer:

h = –xy + r

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the equation, $x = \frac{r-h}{y}$:

To solve for h:

Multiply both sides of the equation by y to cancel the fraction on the right-hand side:

$x (y) = (\frac{r-h}{y}) (y)$

$xy = r - h$

Next, subtract r from both sides:

xy – r = r – r – h

xy – r = – h

Next, divide both sides by -1  to solve for h:

$\frac{xy - r}{-1} = \frac{-h}{-1}$

Therefore, the equation for h is:

h = –xy + r
