Answer 1

Hello from MrBillDoesMath!

Answer: c (infinitely many solutions)

Steps:

1) Simplify the original equation

2(h-8)- h= h - 16

2.As 2 (h-8) = 2h- 16, the equation in 1) is equivalent to

(2h-16) -h = h - 16

or

(2h-h) - 16 = h - 16

or

h - 16 = h -16

which is true for all values of h.

Explanation:

Step 1: Define

Identify

2(h - 8) - h = h - 16

Step 2: Solve for h

1. [Distributive Property] Distribute 2: 2h - 16 - h = h - 16
2. Combine like terms: h - 16 = h - 16
3. [Addition Property of Equality] Add 16 on both sides: h = h
