Question

What is the solution to this -28=3+8(h-9)??

Please show work please, if can... also explain why so (:
THANK YOU (:

Answer 1

-28 = 3 + 8(h-9)
-28 = 3 + 8h - 72 (distributive property a(b-c) = ab - ac)
-28 = -69 + 8h (combining like terms ( 3 - 72))
41 = 8h (adding 69 on both sides to isolate 8h)
/8 /8 (dividing coefficient (8) on both sides to isolate h)
5.125 = h

Therefore h = 5.125
