Question

Consider the following equation, bh+hr=25 when solving for h

Answer 1

1.) Distribute out the h: h(b+r)=25
2.) Divide out b+r: h=25/(b+r)

The answer is 25/(b+r)

Answer 2

`h=(25)/(b+r)`

Explanation:

Given equation,

`bh+hr=25`

For solving this equation for h,

We need to isolate h in the left side of the equation,

We can write,

`h(b+r) = 25` ( by the converse of distributive property ),

Divide both sides by b + r,

`h=(25)/(b+r)`

Which is the required equation.
