Question

How do you solve `117- 11h = 40`?

Answer 1

`h = 7`

Explanation:

Move the variable to the other side of the equation to make it positive. You'd get

`117 = 11h + 40`

Then move `40` to the other side of the equations, which makes it negative. You'd get

`77 = 11h`

Then you simply divide both sides by `11` to get

`7 = h`
