Question

How do you solve the equation: `h/9 = 7`?

Answer 1

`h=63`

Explanation:

`"multiply both sides by 9 "`

`cancel(9)xxh/cancel(9)=9xx7`

`rArrh=63" is the solution"`

Answer 2

h = 63

Explanation:

Rearrange the equation by subtracting what is to the right of the equal sign from both sides of the equation:
`h/9-7=0`
Rewrite the whole as a fraction using 9 as the denominator: `7=1/7=(7*9)/9`
Add the two equivalent fractions which now have a common denominator:
`(h-7*9)/9`
Simplified:
`(h-63)/9=0`
Where a fraction equals zero, its numerator must equal zero.
To get rid of the denominator, multiply both sides of the equation by the denominator. `(h-63)/9* 9 = 0 * 9`
9 is canceled.
`h-63 = 0`
Add 63 on both sides:
`h-63+63=0+63`
Solution:
`h=63`
