Question

$$2 ( 3 - h ) - 6 = - 5 h$$

Solve for h

$h=0$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Use the distributive property to multiply $2$ by $3-h$.

$$6-2h-6=-5h$$

Subtract $6$ from $6$ to get $0$.

$$-2h=-5h$$

Add $5h$ to both sides.

$$-2h+5h=0$$

Combine $-2h$ and $5h$ to get $3h$.

$$3h=0$$

Product of two numbers is equal to $0$ if at least one of them is $0$. Since $3$ is not equal to $0$, $h$ must be equal to $0$.

$$h=0$$
