l 15h+20=5h+40

Answer
h=2

↓Steps Explained:↓



Solve for h

15h + 20 = 5h + 40

Group variables

Group our variables 15h and 5h
subtract 5h from both sides

15h + 20 - 5h = 5h + 40 - 5h

Cancel 5h on the right side:

10h + 20 = 40

Divide each side by 15

15h
15
=
  
20
15

Group constants

Group our constants 20 and 40.
subtract 20 from both sides

10h + 20 - 20 = 40 - 20

Cancel 20 on the left side:

10h = 20

Divide each side of the equation by 10

10h
10
=
  
20
10

h = 2

Final Answer

h=2
