Question

what is the value of h?
2(h + 3.5) = -11
2h + 7 = -11

• 7 - 7 ← subtract 7 on both sides.

2h = -18
(2h)/2 = (-18)/2 ← divide by 2 on both sides.
h = \square

Explanation:

Step1: Simplify the equation

We have the equation \(\frac{2h}{2}=\frac{-18}{2}\). Simplifying both sides, the left side \(\frac{2h}{2}\) simplifies to \(h\), and the right side \(\frac{-18}{2}\) is calculated as \(-9\).

Step2: Determine the value of \(h\)

After simplifying, we get \(h = -9\).

Answer:

\(-9\)
