Can someone give me a step-by-step process for how to solve this? Try to inform as best as you can, as I want to actually learn something. Thanks :)

4(h + 12) = 80

Respuesta :

Answer:

h=8

Step-by-step explanation: can u make me brainliest plz?

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

4(h+12)=80

(4)(h)+(4)(12)=80(Distribute)

4h+48=80

Step 2: Subtract 48 from both sides.

4h+48−48=80−48

4h=32

Step 3: Divide both sides by 4.

4h/4=32/4

h=8

so first you want to distribute. multiply 4 by h and 4 by 12
4(h+12)=80
4h+48=80
now isolate the variable. to do that you have to subtract 48 and get it on the other side. but remember, whatever you do to one side you have to do to the other
4h+48=80
-48 -48
4h=32
now you have to do inverse operations and divide 4h by 4. remember, whatever you do to one side you have to do to the other.
4h=32
— —
h=8

there you go! hope that helps!
