Rachal, I messed that up.
H/S=11/5 so 5H=11S
and 2S+12=H
From the first equation H=11S/5
putting that into the second.
2S+12=11S/5
multiplying both sides by 5
10S+60=11S
adding sixty to both sides and subtracting 11S from both sides.
-S=-60 or S=60
so H=11*60/5=132
H/S=11/5 so 5H=11S
and 2S+12=H
From the first equation H=11S/5
putting that into the second.
2S+12=11S/5
multiplying both sides by 5
10S+60=11S
adding sixty to both sides and subtracting 11S from both sides.
-S=-60 or S=60
so H=11*60/5=132
