Solve for the value of h in the equation h/-4 + 1 = 12

Answer 1

To solve the equation \(\frac{h}{-4} + 1 = 12\), we can start by isolating the term containing \(h\).

1. Subtract 1 from both sides: \[ \frac{h}{-4} = 12 - 1 \] \[ \frac{h}{-4} = 11 \]

2. Now, multiply both sides by \(-4\) to solve for \(h\): \[ h = 11 \times -4 \] \[ h = -44 \]

Thus, the value of \(h\) is \(\boxed{-44}\).
