2. Solve for h: h 1 + 5 -3 2 = 17. o 5 h = – 3 -3 6 1 h= -67 2 -67 1 On- h = -34 2 On=-71 /

Answer 1

We are given the following expression:

$\frac{h}{-3}+5\frac{1}{2}=17$

We are asked to solve for "h". To do that we will first rewrite the mixed fraction in standard form:

$\frac{h}{-3}+5+\frac{1}{2}=17$

Now we add 5 and 1/2, we get:

$\frac{h}{-3}+\frac{11}{2}=17$

Now we subtract 11/2 from both sides:

$\frac{h}{-3}=17-\frac{11}{2}$

Now we solve the difference:

$\frac{h}{-3}=\frac{23}{2}$

Now we multiply both sides by -3:

$h=-\frac{69}{2}$

Now we rewrite the numerator as follows:

$h=-\frac{68+1}{2}$

Now we distribute the denominator:

$h=-(\frac{68}{2}+\frac{1}{2})$

Simplifying we get:

$h=-(34+\frac{1}{2})$

Now we can write the result as a mixed fraction:

$h=-34\frac{1}{2}$

And thus we have solved for "h".
