Math Problem Statement

What move can you make to both sides of the equation to get rid of the −2h on the right, so that all the h terms are on the left side of the equation? 1 5 (12h+8) 10 2

−2h+6

12h+8 2

−2h+6

6h + 4

−2h+6

Subtract 2h from both sides

Divide each side by 2h

Multiply each side by 2h

Add 2h to each side

Solution

To move the 2h-2h from the right side of the equation and have all the hh-terms on the left side, the correct move would be to add 2h2h to both sides of the equation.

Here’s why:

Starting with the equation: 6h+4=2h+66h + 4 = -2h + 6

If you want to get rid of the 2h-2h on the right-hand side, you add 2h2h to both sides to move the hh-terms to the left:

6h+4+2h=2h+6+2h6h + 4 + 2h = -2h + 6 + 2h

This simplifies to: 8h+4=68h + 4 = 6

Now, all the hh-terms are on the left side. This is the appropriate step.

The correct answer is: Add 2h to each side.
