Question

solve the equation below, where there are h terms on both sides of the equation. what’s the value of h? subtract 5 from both sides and rewrite the remaining values. 12 - 3h = 5 + 11h + 3h + 3h 12 = 5 + 14h - 5 - 5 blank = blank

Explanation:

Step1: Calculate left side after subtraction

Subtract 5 from 12: \(12 - 5 = 7\)

Step2: Calculate right side after subtraction

Subtract 5 from \(5 + 14h\): \(5 + 14h - 5 = 14h\)

Step3: Solve for h

Now we have \(7 = 14h\). Divide both sides by 14: \(h=\frac{7}{14}=\frac{1}{2}\)

Answer:

The value of \(h\) is \(\frac{1}{2}\) (and the rewritten equation after subtracting 5 is \(7 = 14h\))
