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 from the right side of the equation and have all the -terms on the left side, the correct move would be to add to both sides of the equation.
Here’s why:
Starting with the equation:
If you want to get rid of the on the right-hand side, you add to both sides to move the -terms to the left:
This simplifies to:
Now, all the -terms are on the left side. This is the appropriate step.
The correct answer is: Add 2h to each side.
