Question

How do I solve h+3h+4h=100

Answer 1

To solve for h first add all similar terms, in this case, those with h:

`\begin{gathered} h+3h+4h=100 \\ 8h=100 \end{gathered}`

Now, divide by 8 into both sides of the equation

`\begin{gathered} (8h)/(8)=(100)/(8) \\ h=(100)/(8) \end{gathered}`

Finally, simplify

`\begin{gathered} h=(25\cdot4)/(2\cdot4) \\ h=(25)/(2) \end{gathered}`

Therefore, the value of h is

`\begin{gathered} h=(25)/(2) \\ \text{ or} \\ h=12.5 \end{gathered}`
