Solve this equation: -9h - 6 + 12h + 40 = 22.

Solution:

Given -9h - 6 + 12h + 40 = 22

This is an equation in h.

Put the like terms together and constants together. Solve the equation by isolating the variable by the transposing method.

(-9h + 12h) + (40 - 6 - 22) = 0

3h + (40 - 28) = 0

3h + 12 = 0

3h = -12

h = -12/3

h = -4

Solve this equation: -9h - 6 + 12h + 40 = 22.

Summary:

By solving this equation -9h - 6 + 12h + 40 = 22, we get h = -4.
