Question

How do you solve `h+1.7=-2.1`?

Answer 1

Subtract `1.7` from each side of the equation. See full solution process below:

Explanation:

Subtract `color(red)(1.7)` from each side of the equation to solve for `h` while keeping the equation balanced:

`h + 1.7 - color(red)(1.7) = -2.1 - color(red)(1.7)`

`h + 0 = -3.8`

`h = -3.8`
