How do you solve #\frac { h } { 8} = 3#?

Answer 1

Genesis Allen

#color(red)(h=24)#

#h/8=3#

#h=3xx8#

#color(red)(h=24)#

I hope this is helpful.

See a solution process below:

Multiply each side of the equation by #color(red)(8)# to solve for #h# while keeping the equation balanced:

#color(red)(8) xx h/8 = color(red)(8) xx 3#

#cancel(color(red)(8)) xx h/color(red)(cancel(color(black)(8))) = 24#

#h = 24#

The answer would be #h=24#.

Since the #h# is being divided by #8#, you must do the opposite; multiplication. So, you multiply both sides by #8# to leave #h# by itself, like it wants to be.

Then you have #8 times 3# on the other side, which is #24#. So, you end up with #h=24#.

To solve the equation ( \frac { h } { 8} = 3 ), multiply both sides of the equation by 8 to isolate ( h ). ( h = 24 ).

When evaluating a one-sided limit, you need to be careful when a quantity is approaching zero since its sign is different depending on which way it is approaching zero from. Let us look at some examples.
