Question

$$6 h + 1 = 3 h - 2$$

Solve for h

$h=-1$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Subtract $3h$ from both sides.

$$6h+1-3h=-2$$

Combine $6h$ and $-3h$ to get $3h$.

$$3h+1=-2$$

Subtract $1$ from both sides.

$$3h=-2-1$$

Subtract $1$ from $-2$ to get $-3$.

$$3h=-3$$

Divide both sides by $3$.

$$h=\frac{-3}{3}$$

Divide $-3$ by $3$ to get $-1$.

$$h=-1$$
