Question

Be sure to show your work and solve for h:
13=h−18−5

Answer 1

h=36

Explanation:

To look for the value of h, you first start by adding the two negative numbers you have on the right side of the equals sign, and then take the answer you get and do the opposite method of solving to get h

-18-5=-23

13+23=36

therefore, h=36

Answer 2

h = 26

Explanation:

To solve for h, we can start by simplifying the right-hand side of the equation:

13 = h - 18 - 5

We can combine the -18 and -5 terms on the right-hand side:

13 = h - 23

Now we can add 23 to both sides of the equation to isolate h:

13 + 23 = h - 23 + 23

Simplifying:

36 = h

Therefore, the value of h that satisfies the equation 13 = h - 18 - 5 is 36.
